Spacex is mostly trying to sort out getting stuff into orbit and then to the Moon or Mars, which is not massively far away.
For getting things into orbit nuclear propulsion is somewhat problematic.

In the medium to long term it definitely makes sense to invest in nuclear propulsion though.
In an ideal world Nasa would focus on this (ie; making spaceships, not launch vehicles) and leave the (literal) heavy lifting to spacex.

Hydrogen really doesn't burn, it fuses, into helium. So no oxygen is required!
