    How is NASA a competitor to SpaceX?

    They both shoot rockets up in the sky. Our government could pay NASA to do it, or pay Space X.

    NASA does not build it's own rockets (anymore) they make the payloads. NASA will never make rockets as good/cheap as a companies like ULA and SpaceX.

    Take a look at the cluster fuck that is the SLS if you want an example

    Can Space X make the payloads?

    Uh, basically no.

    NASA has experiments to run, spaceX has no idea what science NASA is interested in doing. So having SpaceX make the payload doesn't really make a lot of sense.
