Don't be silly, of course he cares whether spacex remains uncontested or not, both from a business perspective but also from the political leverage it brings (starlink etc).
Either SpaceX isn't uncontested already (lots of people are developing rockets, so they aren't uncontested), or this wouldn't have changed that (lots of people developing rockets are absolutely nowhere near SpaceX, and they still wouldn't be whether or not this had worked).
Musk doesn't care and unfortunately Blue Origin failed to launch today.
It's over.
