If I buy a cheeseburger from McDonald's and they decide to invest the profit in R&D, is it still my money at that point?
To be more fair, SpaceX is mostly spending VC money, while SLS is spending taxpayer money. They are gambling that they can make a better product for the customer without working under contract with the customer and being payed for their development..
SLS has a government contract that pays up front for development, and will work hand in hand with the customer throughout development.
