Setting aside his BS, there's a chasm of difference between SpaceX and SLS: it's process.

SLS designs ONE (mostly) disposable ship, per year, max, taking a decade to integrate and realize. Epic Waterfall. They have several concurrent pipelines.

Meanwhile SpaceX designs a reusable ship factory. Scalable to as many a year as you can afford.

I know. But it's still space travel at the whim of a BS'er.

Hence, the need for a back up or private competitor. Ideally as efficient. If not, then at almost any cost is the only alternative (NASA).
