We need to develop remotely operated building machines first. Test them on the moon and succeed in building a sound, sealed, safe environ for humans to enter before we try to get to mars.
If I were Elon, I would focus on the building of the delivery system to get materials and equipment to the moon - then have an X-prize for people to develop the robots to build stuff.
Get a heavy payload like that to the moon, assemble some stuff and test it. Then make money off moon tourism Parlay this to mars research, funding and experience.
