No. Because it's bad science, and bad engineering. He's mistaken about scale, about logistics, about individual movations, legal structure, about closed and open cycle economies in energy, food and air.
He's espousing a fantasy and sucking in money and time and labour which could be better used.
It's a giant Ketamine fuelled boondoggle. LEO is making money and strategic sense. Mars is multiple decades off for a small group of scientists maintained at 10,000x the cost and effort of Antarctica.
I love watching the rockets launch. Nothing about the actual space mechanics right now is awful. His sense of time, place, purpose and outcome is truly bad, by repute since like 99% of people here I know only his projected persona.
