Realistic considerations for time travel?

In case anyone doesn’t know, time travel is real and quite simple. The only stipulation is that you have to travel forward in time. To accomplish forward time travel, all you have to do is move at a very high speed.

In the sci-fi classic Forever War, there is a service where people can board a time shuttle that blasts out from their planet at near light speed, then returns, jumping the passengers forward in time several hundred years.

It makes me wonder if any of the tech billionaires have talked about this idea as a way of skipping a few decades and coming back to earth when advances in medicine or computing are farther along?

The math is quite practical if there was a propellant that could provide a constant acceleration of 1G. After 5 years at 1G acceleration, 83 years would have passed on earth. Of course, turning around would be an issue...
