If SpaceX is going to build this gargantuan rocket on its own dime, anyway, I don't think they are. The Falcon Heavy won't be as capable as the Saturn or SLS. I think Musk is speaking hypothetically.

“I think Musk is speaking hypothetically.”
I think NASA is speaking equally hypothetically. There is no evidence that a stale affirmative-action moribund bureaucracy could build new SLS platform, or even something as capable as the Saturn V today.

The article isn’t about the Falcon Heavy but the follow on to that. The FH is scheduled to fly this year. The follow on is in the initial planning stage and will rival the SLS.
