I'm not the OP but I also heard rumors that Starlink bought Loon IP specifically the LTE stack. Given that we know Starlink was using the Google network in the early days and Loon was officially shut down months after Starlink beta started, it's not hard to imagine that there's some partnership.

Google invested 900 million into starlink & shut down loon around the same time. There's tech from Google in starlink. Starlink uses Google cloud. In fact starlink used to show up as Google Fi. They now have their own network.

Maybe they meant that google invested to the tune of $1B back in 2016 making it one of the largest spacex investors.
