Whatever happened to that?

Very much in progress if you follow news on Starship. Actually going too fast in my opinion, I don't think it's safe enough.

On the other hand, Starship is not fast enough, if I recall correctly, SpaceX claimed to Nasa that they'd be landing on the moon by now

They definitely have their setbacks and delays. They sure keep trying though.

They do, but being slower than Orion to even get to the orbit is not a great look

The question was "what happened to that?", and the answer is "it's very actively happening". Whether they actually succeed is a whole different question that I can't answer, but I wouldn't bet on it.
