their priorities (seemingly by order of progress) 1) suborbital space tourism, they're basically waiting on the paperwork for this at this point 2) development of new large methane engines in tandem for new glenn and ULA (not sure if vulcan is still on for this though) 3) heavy launch of commercial space payloads. they're skipping medium and small rockets and going straight to a falcon heavy sized 2 stage booster with new engines 4) orbital space tourism 5) whatever they promised trump for the artemis program

falcon heavy's core apparently is much more complicated and thus a unique booster unlike the goal of being able to take production falcon 9s and modify it slightly to work as a core booster. BFR isn't anywhere near on track to replace it though either. The payload gains from heavy vs regular falcon 9 just don't make up the cost increase
