This is not exactly a fair take. the "new crewed mission" project has never been actually canceled. It's been delayed, and not due to lack of funding but poor execution. Constellation was better funded than commercial cargo and commercial crew and Orion has still been under development basically the whole time (although it changed names). Artemis continues, too.
People want to make out SpaceX as if SpaceX is ideologically opposed to NASA or government funding and thus are hypocrites, when that has never been true. People like working at SpaceX because SpaceX gets stuff done and is developing truly transformative technology beyond the expendable paradigm of Apollo. Technology that will expand the availability of space to several orders of magnitude more people instead of just a handful of heroes. And NASA loves it.
