Setting aside his BS, there's a chasm of difference between SpaceX and SLS: it's process.
SLS designs ONE (mostly) disposable ship, per year, max, taking a decade to integrate and realize. Epic Waterfall. They have several concurrent pipelines.
Meanwhile SpaceX designs a reusable ship factory. Scalable to as many a year as you can afford.
