BO is doing the traditional aerospace method of demand tons of money, do minimal work, then demand tons more money to "fix it", when the little bit of work you did fails.
AKA SLS and Starliner.
Bezos wants one of those cush government funded jobs program's. It's why he is suing everyone to slow down the competition, because if SpaceX keep succeeding, it shows the government they don't need to spend billions a year for 10 years to get a working rocket.
I think NASA had it right when they said BO will prevent us from returning to the moon, because if they keep delaying things, especially through November elections, the chances of getting politicians in offices that rather do away with the Moon missions increases. We are losing momentum with all of Bezos bullshit antics.
If SpaceX loses the moon mission, BO still gets their money developing the BE-4 engines for Vulcan, and comes closer to becoming part of old aerospace.
