SpaceX's Crew Dragon has already proven itself as a safe and capable spacecraft when it lived up to NASA's standards and ferried crewed missions from Earth to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was developed with the help of NASA as part of the space agency's Commercial Crew Program which sought to produce not one but two efficient forms of transportation for astronauts — the other being Boeing's oft-delayed Starliner which has yet to actually complete a full test flight to the ISS.
In any case, Crew Dragon exists and by all accounts, it's exactly what NASA was hoping for, but that doesn't prevent SpaceX from using it for other purposes as well. That includes commercial flights, and along with the announcement of the crew of a space tourism flight scheduled for later this year, SpaceX revealed that it's making some changes to Crew Dragon that will ensure the wealthy passengers get what they paid for.
