To add more detail this was known since February when they said they weren't going to crew rate falcon heavy unless bfs/bfr was going to be significantly delayed.

I don't even know if anyone expects it to take the time Elon says, except Elon.

I'm not even sure Elon expects to get things done by the deadlines he states.

#9What? That has been know for a long time? How is that news?
This has been changed because of the change in the contract with NASA. NASA no longer wanted to have propulsive landing and SpaceX prefer to focus on the BFR. This made space tourism less valuable and also lead to the choice not to human rate the Falcon Heavy. The same reason that Red Dragon was cancelled.
SpaceX simply shifted all its focus on the BFR. That's their long term goal and other things are a distraction.
