SpaceX has contracts for launches with the military, and StarLink has US military contract too. What is so perplexing to him here?

Don't take anything musk says at face value. Or expect him to consider reality from a rational perspective.

Does ITAR apply to starlink?

It appears that SpaceX has not launched weapons, but only reconnaissance. Reconnaissance is nonviolent.

The payloads are classified, of course, so I can't be certain, but I assume without evidence that the NRO is not launching weaponry.

SpaceX's refusal to allow Starlink to be used to conduct offensive war operations further bolsters this assumption.

Starlink did not have a US military contract in Ukraine at the time I believe.
