If Harris Walz had been elected, you may have convinced me with facts and reason that SpaceX was the better performing rocket builder right now, and it was time to change from Boeing to SpaceX.
However, given the heavy-handed involvement of Musk and DOGE in Turnip's rapid-fire administrative changes, any switch from Boeing to SpaceX would look like self-dealing at this point.

Boeing announced to its employees working on the SLS project that NASA may cancel the project. The SLS project is part of the Artemis Moon project.
Now, given Boeing's performance with Starliner, it may indeed make sense to cut the contract with Boeing. However, with Elon Musk playing such a prominent role in #POTUS47 administration, DOGE, and SpaceX, there's a potential HUGE conflict of interest here.
