The problem is not the funding, it's the lack of anyone to give it to. The Apollo program had von Braun. We don't have a replacement for him. Musk is close, but unproven. The answer is not any of the other existing companies, or today's NASA, or JPL. That's not an organization you can just create with money.
No one today knows now to build what we need in that time frame.
