SpaceX tackled started re-usability before Starlink and they had figured it out before Starlink launches even started. Even without Starlink SpaceX would have done re-usability. The claim that they are linked is simply not correct. SpaceX was totally convinced of re-usability and said it was a huge benefit to them before Starlink. All the leaders of SpaceX said this public-ally, Elon, Shotwell, Mueller and Königsman. Multiple analysts and cost estimations have also indicated that their savings are quite large. Yet I guess some people rather believe everybody in SpaceX is simply laying and all these analysts are wrong because they rather believe the competitors of SpaceX.
