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

I predict that NASA would find some pretense to block any such mission to the moon or Mars to avoid embarrassment.

They’d probably launch from a sea platform on behalf of some random country just to spite NASA at that point.

Look at that, Morocco beats NASA to the moon!
