What I’m trying to say is that there is a connection between the money invested and the quality of the result. SpaceX starship programs several times cheaper than the NASA Apollo program, but keeps failing. At the end of it, it will probably cost the same for a successful launch.
You realise NASA isn’t paying for the development of Starship, yes? If spacex doesn’t get it working on budget, it’s spacex who’s paying for it, not NASA.

Apollo cost about 300 billion in today’s money, and spacex has gotten about 20 billion in contracts so far. Less than 10% of the cost.
Appolo did the job (with the exception of appolo 1). Because they paid the real price of a working program.
Not sure what you’re trying to say. Is spacex not doing the job it’s supposed to be doing?

The space shuttle disagrees with you.
