This is of course a respectable view to me and I don’t mind him using math to arrive at that conclusion.
Professor Tegmark, like everyone else, is entitled to his views. Problem is that mathematics, sometimes, does not describe reality. Here's J.J. Thomson's, a Nobel laureate, model of the atom:
Plum pudding model.
His model is perfectly mathematical, but, it does not describe reality, at least in our Universe. Professor Tegmark really should know better.
Hey whether we like it or not, is not the point. I personally don’t believe in it but I respect the guy for spending his life on the topic of math and most importantly I don’t have a problem with him using math to arrive at his conclusion.
I don’t condemn him for using math basically and I certainly don’t want to take math away from him.

None.
Am I wrong? Have you some particular scientific evidence for your particular version of a god? Of course not.
Put up or shut up.
Dude are you reading? Fine-tuning is a scientific fact which a theist can use to prove that the universe was intelligently designed.
How do you feel about peddling lies?
