When they cut what SpaceX is costing us from NASA in exchange, or shut down NASA I will agree. Only then will it be money well spent, until then it is just another additional cost we do not need.

I'd rather they keep the space budget intact, and eliminate a boatload of welfare programs.

I agree... We are already dumping billions of dollars into their department with very little “practical” return. NASA is already forced to invent justifications to keep themselves in the budget game as it is now, much of it completely impractical. So I would also say welfare, especially corporate welfare like Tesla, SpaceX, and many others.
