Probably not. For starters, Elon has said they only intend to get a few flights out of the Block 3 rockets. Additionally, the CTO of SES said Gwynne promised them some bits of the rocket for posterity.

The Block 5 rockets (to fly later this year) are the ones Elon expects to fly more or less indefinitely, with regular servicing and part replacement.

Elon gave more details regarding reusability during the post launch press conference:

10 launches without maintenance

100 launches with moderate maintenance

They are aiming for 1000 launches for their upcoming ITS.
