SpaceX has already built ships, without any funding from the government at all. It was SpaceX that shot Musk's personal Tesla roadster into orbit, not NASA. Musk has been at the forefront of space exploration more than any other entity, government or otherwise, for the past two decades.
Note, I can't stand Elon Musk. I don't own stock, I don't own one of his vehicles. But credit to where it's due and stop with the gaslighting. The USA - as a country - did plenty of work on this project and were instrumental in getting the ship into space. But Musk and his company are the ones who created the vehicle and had the wherewithall to inspire NASA to do this project at all.
