But here we're talking about putting data centers in space. It means stuffing as many gpus as possible into each satellite and running them at constant max power.

But here we're talking about putting data centers in space. It means stuffing as many gpus as possible into each satellite and running them at constant max power.
They're talking about launching a million satellites, not one massive satellite.
I don't think they can avoid a Kessler cascade at that scale, but if launch costs were cheap enough (questionable because Musk habitually overpromises and underdelivers, but not inconceivable as sometimes he succeeds too) then patterning each of those million on Starlink satellites is essentially viable.
