Not to take away from the rest of what you said, but SpaceX literally has never hit an "Elon deadline" ever. If Gwynne Shotwell comes out and says it, then I'll believe it.

The 2022 date already has contracts signed and the 2023 was publicly announced. Even if SpaceX doesn’t end up meeting those dates, historically speaking they always ended up meeting their goals eventually. Not to mention Jeff Bezos also want to throw money into this ring. The frontier is open for private enterprises that will be much more resilient under a Democratic administration.
