While it may be true that most westerners can afford a 100 000$ house, he omits that most of them need to put a mortgage on said house to be able to do so. I guess the point is that you can put a mortgage on the ticket as long as you finish paying it before the rocket takes off. But I am very doubtful that most people would be able to afford it in addition to their rent/housing mortgage.
An earlier plan actually said that they could pay it off on Mars, but people started pointing out that that sounds a lot like indentured servitude if you are stuck on Mars then, although H1-B visa workers for the FAANG in the US can probably tell a story about that as well…
