I can imagine SpaceX choosing to self-finance a mission to the moon and beat NASA at it.

That probably does require some imagination. Starting with any incentive to do so.

Musk is complicated to say the least. He seems to have a pattern of expensive overreactions to what he perceives as slights.

Allegedly, SpaceX only exists because some Russian engineer spit on him during tense price negotiations back in 2002.

His purchase of Twitter wasn't cheap either.
