The key is the OS. Musk has the resources to roll his own, or buy out something like Graphene or Sailfish and adapt to his needs. Whatever he comes up with will need to be Android compatible.

Not necessarily. There already are many OS platforms that are not android compatible. All one needs is an OS that conforms with ccurrent internet connectivity protocols. Musk could probably build his own world wide web with his own connectivity protocols. Just needs a ton of nodes....hmmm...ya’ think Starlink could do it?
