This is incorrect. Inspiration4 sent astronauts they trained. This was largely true for the Axiom mission as well, and will be for the Polaris missions.

Well if you call 4month training "astronauts", those kind of training won't get anyone on the moon or on mars.

I think that's why they call them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_astronaut

To me it's more space tourism that anything else, there is a reason why it takes years to train astronauts.
