It's not that he wants that outcome out of Starlink guys, he just wishes a disruptor like Elon would take on terrestrial cable as well.
While I definitely see the desire for him to take on terrestrial cable as well, it's way too infrastructure heavy to implement in a field he doesn't have the means to handle currently. Unless he just buys in to the current infrastructure like every other ISP, but then he's stuck playing by their rules and not vertically integrated like all of his other companies.
The really crazy thing about Starlink when you think about it from an infrastructure standpoint - He has a manufacturing facility pumping out satellites, a rocket launch facility managing the implementation, and a customer service team. That's it. Compare that to the personnel and logistics required for terrestrial cable, and the vast difference in overhead between business models is insane.
