Subpoena the ground stations?
Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.
But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Agreed. The US can access/subpoena any data it wants from US companies, even if the servers they host the data on are in Europe or Asia or…
It doesn’t matter where the servers and the data is located. It matters who posses (or controls the access) to it.

I mean a data center barge or one in Antarctica would do much the same and be wildly cheaper and (relatively) more practical.

But those aren’t as “cool”
