SpaceX cannot replace NASA, at least not yet. SpaceX is a component supplier to NASA like Boeing, United Launch Alliance, etc. There's a whole lot of other stuff that NASA does that SpaceX is not even trying to do.

Isn't this exactly how it goes though? e.g. "They're selling books, Bob. Books. Not widgets. We're fine, Bob".

Unless SpaceX plans to do science missions without expecting anything in return, they're not competing with NASA.
