SLS is more like $4-5B per launch including sustaining costs. If you gave spaceX that money they could move whatever the equivalent needed mass was to orbit today on existing F9 solutions.
And they could do EXPENDABLE starships (or different upper stages) that would absolutely CRUSH SLS. Take the heatshield off and fly a cargo variant of the upper stage - for $4B per launch they would be raking it in.
