I just looked it up and was stunned to see a target of $13/kg cost to orbit. That's insane. A human could go to space for under $1,000 (hand waving away the life support systems)

Those are still Musk numbers. But even 10x of that would be quite good.

Pretty crazy how nobody seems to even try to compete.

People definitely try to compete and don’t. Bezos is also spending countless billions and basically has technology from the 1960s to show for it.
I think China is going to give it a go.
Just like how Concorde made air travel 10x cheaper! Oh, wait…
