SpaceX's assembly and testing cadence is quite amazing. They're already putting together pieces of SN17!

In another article about Tesla VW CEO described them as having ‘essentially unlimited resources’. I guess spaceX probably falls under a similar category. Unlimited resources + not wasting ANYTHING is a killer combo.

I think many others also have 'essentially unlimited resources' but it is the execution and quick iteration that is unique to both Tesla and SpaceX.

Are you sure he wasn’t talking about Apple?

Both Tesla and SpaceX are welfare queens. So yes, they have infinite government resources to spend.
Why the desalination plant? Is there not piped water? Is it just another eco friendly sounding thing to put in the plan? Is it to hedge against newspaper headlines saying how much water spacex is wasting? Desalination has to be more expensive than piped water (both financially and environmentally).
If you don't know what you're talking about, then don't talk.
OTOH, anything involving the Space Station or manned flight to Mars is a total waste of money, time and energy.
It may also help for rapidly testing orbital refueling in 2022, though the plan is to do orbital refueling with 1 launch pad, 1 Super Heavy and 2 Starships (1 standard, 1 refueler) with 1 hour turnaround times between launches (and 5-6 launches) before Starship is ready to depart for the journey to Mars.

I would guess that it is driven by a real need for water and a hedge against environmental assessment difficulties.

It may be that they need too much for the local water company. During launches, they need to spray water- a lot of it. Using salt water would probably be problematic. Lots of residue left over.
