The money will flow in any second now.
The lead-time in producing missiles is measured in months and years and war games predict that the supply of most of them will be depleted in an initial engagement with China over Taiwan that sees Japan/Taiwan/US win but lose many ships.
After it's anybody's guess but China has 260x the naval production capacity of America so they'll be able to come back faster than the US can.

theres no guarantees that the US would get involved with china invading taiwan, either. again, look at ukraine. sales and donations of old materiel only
Especially if said entrepreneur is working with (or an outright front for) US intelligence, so they're sophisticated enough at this game to run an Airtag detector over the cargo when they transfer it from the ship the Chinese know about to the one they don't.
If you take a look at page 8 of this pdf[0] you'll see that the wargames predict that hundreds of missiles will be used in the first few weeks of an engagement between China and the US over Taiwan. Page 10 will curdle your blood as you'll see that they anticipate to lose dozens of ships including two(!) aircraft carriers. Page 11 shows hundreds of losses of various aircraft.
SpaceX will not save those lives and they will not be able to replace the equipment in time for a second engagement with China.

Now that I see that this was not what you're suggesting I don't think that two years is a sufficient time frame to build, test, and deploy the kinds of weapons that you're suggesting.
It seems like America is sleep walking into a horrible conflict with China and this combined with all of the soft power that America is losing in the past few months doesn't bode well for the outcome of this conflict.
Admittedly, it's a dangerous plan for all of humanity. I've considered it Musk's win-condition for this whole insane, destructive wager he's made with his reputation, businesses, and wealth on the table.
I think it's why the neonazi regime aren't afraid of plunging the world into economic catastrophe and setting the conditions for WW3. They believe their plan can't fail. Regrettably, it seems like we'll get to find out.
The answer to that question unfortunately appears to be 'no.'
If there were a plan sitting in a drawer somewhere that showed the US colonizing mainland China at the cost of half a million US military personnel I'd be sure that plan accidentally leaked.
Or a fake version of it that cost 5 million and took six months
