I actually expect that they'll partner with SpaceX and other launchers: one of the key things they're planning to do is to build fueling stations, which is not something I've heard that SpaceX is planning on yet. Build the robots, ask SpaceX to put them in space, construct a station, permit SpaceX to use it to push further to Mars. It makes a lot of sense to me.
