How are they going to deal with the heat dissipation problem?

Why do you think they've suddenly become unable to do straightforward engineering? If they think they can handle that, they likely can.

Because they’re lead by a cult of personality?

This is skating into Musk Derangement Syndrome territory.

What's even the point of making this kind of thought-terminating, smooth-brained quip? Do you actually feel it passes for some sort of clever gotcha?

I can exhaustively list the reasons why Musk is an abhorrent leader and human being, but I'm pretty sure you know them all already. Whatever intelligence the man may have once had has long been flushed down the Twitter toilet, as evident from even a cursory look at his social media feed.

20,000 launches is 11 Starship launches a day for 5 years It's an unsustainable rate and even if we do get to that rate it'll wreck the planet

Why is that unsustainable? You need to present an argument that is more than just "large number! wave hands!" It's just like the arguments used by anti-renewable energy forces here on Earth. "Large number (of PV modules and wind turbines and batteries)! Unpossible!" And no, that launch rate does not "wreck the planet".

> And no, that launch rate does not "wreck the planet".

What's the impact of the atmospheric pollution from both launches and the burn of space craft and satellite's burning up on re-rentry?

The most significant limitation on Starship launches is from injection of water into the stratosphere and mesosphere, but 20,000 launches is far away from that limit.
