Thing is, I don't think NASA and SpaceX compete. NASA is not a for-profit company and was happy to see successful private companies in the sector. They'll happily be a SpaceX client so that they can focus on actual research and do things that are not profitable (yet)
In practice, you're probably right.
But in terms of "I wanna cut waste, and make the government lean! So I am gonna delete the space part of the government and replace it with my own!"
Just sounds bad, like really bad. Even worse than the armored Teslas. I can't imagine NASA is the top of people's lists of "utter wastes of time" It's not a regulator, it's not in the "known enemies" list unless you're a flat earther. I dunno how you spin it to be palatable.
