If the program survives how ever many Whitehouse administrations and Congressional sessions necessary to get an operational SLS / Orion to Mars... I suspect SpaceX will have people waiting on Mars ready to greet the Orion's arrival. Bingo.

Any use of SLS to go to Mars, by NASA PAO or anyone else, is purely speculative and conjectural. There are no plans for such usage.
In fact, there are no plans for any SLS beyond: one unmanned test, one lunar flyby test with crew and one crewed lunar landing. SLS was intended to launch a large probe to Jupiter in 2025 but that is much in doubt now.

NASA's "agenda" for SLS is as already stated: 3 planned flights. The fourth SLS launch was recently, after being in doubt for some time, rescheduled for a different launcher: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme...-launch-europa-clipper-commercial-rocketAnd one doesn't have to be an expert, one only needs the ability to read.
