You assume his goal is actually to get to Mars, not just dangle that as a dream in front of people while siphoning off billions of tax dollars.

I didn't say anything about Mars, I only meant the Moon mission, which I assume would slightly push the record further just because the longer duration would give more opportunity for the wobble of the Moon's orbit to get the astronauts further than before.

Granted, SpaceX could also just fail to get to the Moon.
