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.

.... why is the U.S. Congress forcing NASA to develop the less capable Space Launch System (SLS) for many billions of dollars more? ... I'll take Corruption In Politics for $1000, Alex..................

“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.
To: Moonman62
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.

Sez that the entire projected development cost is $2.5 billion, about one year’s expenditure by NASA to build the SLS. Thanks EveningStar.

The SpaceX Falcon Heavy will be the world's most powerful rocket when it launches later this year. It can carry a payload of up to 117,000 pounds in its clamshell fairing. The fairing is shown here open with the payload exposed, but on a mission it would remain closed until the first stage has separated and the second stage has nearly reached orbit. Nick Kaloterakis
