Unfortunately this is gonna bite NASA due to them handing the lander mission to Musk and he bogus claims and in that case there won’t be many competitors ready to pick up the slack
So far, SpaceX has been run with much less Musk involvement. That could change on a whim, but so far it seems to be a pretty well run government-supplier under Gwynne Shotwell.

The problem is starship, Musk’s mars-shot brain child, seems to be increasingly behind schedule for the Artemis missions.
Not to mention using starship is apparently forcing any moon landings to launch between 8-12 rockets to get one SpaceX lander on the moon?
Overall it seems like SpaceX is getting fucked by Musk’s involvement as well.
