It would be great if Musk bought an orbiter and made an honest display about what a boondoggle the whole program was. SpaceX's success shows the shuttle was seriously the wrong thing to have done. It would have been much better for NASA and the country to focus on cost-reduced expendable launchers, later gradually converted to first stage reuse, and only then to full reuse. People were pushing for this since the 1960s.
