Because he owns SpaceX, that's why.

America could forcefully nationalize SpaceX but I doubt that's going to happen unless Elon is a threat. So far he's not.

You post like it’s the only game in town or somehow NASA is dependent on them. He has a sweetheart deal and the public can only speculate how and why. Either way the government is definitely not relying on his good graces. It’s the other way around.
