SpaceX will absolutely sell them boosters to do this. Here is why:
- It's regulatory top cover. "Starlink is not a monopoly, we have competitors <points at amazon>. We launch competitors satellites as well."
- If Amazons effort fails, they can buy it for pennies on the dollar while still having gotten full price for the boosters.
- If they decide to divest Starlink, it provides them a mature acquisition candidate.
- They get to sell their competitor boosters at full price while launching their own satellites at cost.
