SpaceX hasn't done any manned spaceflights and hasn't flown anything to Mars.
NASA, for example, has done that multiple times.
So why exactly are SpaceX odds better (@ succeeding)?
That rocket landing to the platform flying backwards looks awesome but I don't think it significantly increases their odds for Mars flight. Will they fly there backwards with a similar platform waiting?
