No, if you take a look at the molecular orbitals of carbon, you will notice that its LUMO is the sigma antibonding orbital. This means if you try to put any electrons into a carbon with 4 existing bonds, you are actually breaking bonds. It can however, exist in an extremely unstable high energy intermediate.
