From Ars Technica:
"...“I will be direct," Griffin said. "In my judgment, the Artemis Program is excessively complex, unrealistically priced, compromises crew safety, poses very high mission risk of completion, and is highly unlikely to be completed in a timely manner even if successful.”..."

Yeah, Griffin has a point, but the flaws in Artemis are flaws that "everybody knows" about.
The article, by Eric Berger, goes on to lambaste the sillier things that Griffin said, like canning the Spacex contracts. Yeah, right - that would set back NASA by 10 years and potentially lead to the abandonment of ISS.
Griffin is just dusting off his own pet proposal from 2005 - which was declined by the US Congress for being, get this, vastly unrealistic and expensive.

So this just adds to the "noise" not the "signal", sadly.

Though he likely has his own agenda with this the current program is overly cumbersome and complicated.
It will continue to fall down unless there is a major revamp of how things are done instead of creating another committee to figure things out. The sun will have expanded and burnt the earth to a crisp before they get this figured out.
