SpaceX has nothing to do with the SLS debacle.

Starship has launched multiple times, has made it to orbit and through re-entry. Both of those test flights, while not 100% successful, were more successful than expected. Neither flight was expected to be perfect, despite what a lot of media reports seem to have wanted to portray for whatever reason.

Watch Destin from StarterEveryDay speech and analysis at American Astronautical Society. Launching something into space is a small part of the space mission, the easiest part really since you have full control and resources on Earth and can easily pivot.
