So why did Elon sell Tesla if its only been 15B and Starship is so close to the Moon and the Mars which his own words claim will create muiltiples of the earths value ?
Secondly Apollo was that expensive because it had to invent so many technologies which were not available then which are today. Materials, computers and knowledge have made significant advancements since the 1960s.
Just think how expensive it was back then to make computations either manually or by computer compared with today. Todays computers do things easily much more quickly than 20x, thats saving a lot of money on manual workers time and so on.
If you introduce these advantages Apollo is not 20x more expensive its actually much closer with todays Starship cost. Starship with all these modern advantages should have been on the Moon a long time ago.
