In another discussion he actually indicated that they are aware of the problem and ponder solutions: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1132908689860415488 … - but I doubt (from a thermal standpoint) that you can just paint future satellites black and that's it ...
I certainly would like to see what solutions will be proposed: there were previous attempts to reduce optical magnitudes of satellites (MISTY), though not for civilian ones. But yeah, Musk's original response seems like dodging the question, which prompted me to ask specifically.
