Such a ridiculous comparison. SLS started 5 years earlier and had 10-20x the budget, and it uses mostly legacy components. SLS uses existing mature engines. Existing production facilities. And so on.
If SpaceX had ask themselves, can we make a Super-Heavy of SLS class and launch it the first time, SpaceX could have almost certainty have done that.
But that not the goal or the ambition of the project.
