Elon Musk shares definitive answer when asked if the Moon landing was fake

The SpaceX CEO revealed his thoughts on the moon landing

Elon Musk has been very outspoken on his personal views as of late, even going as far as to join Donald Trump onstage at a political rally.

The Tesla boss has made controversial claims about the ‘woke mind virus’ and has also joked that he could face prison time if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election.

But just when you think he’s already shared every passing thought, Musk has added his two cents to another topic - the moon landing.

More specifically, the billionaire has shared a definitive answer on whether he thinks the historic event of 1969 was faked.

It’s been over half a century since NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the moon, uttering the now iconic words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

But decades later, the debate on whether or not the event was real is more heated than ever, with conspiracy theory videos gaining millions of views.

On Musk’s own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, arguments break out online over the topic.

However, the tech mogul has set the record straight on his own thoughts in a recent interview with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

During the conversation, Musk said: “We definitely went to the moon. I swear. We went to the moon several times.”

In response, Carlson said: “I just want to check your view on that.”

This prompted the SpaceX CEO to reply with: “We one hundred percent went to the moon.”

Non-believers of the moon landings claim the events were fake due to things like the angle of the shadow and the American flag supposedly ‘flapping’ in the wind.

Another argument is that no stars are visible in the footage, which is due to exposure.

Despite conspiracy theories, the moon landing really did happen, with Neil Armstrong and Edwin E ‘Buzz’ Aldrin becoming the first and second people to set foot on the lunar surface.

Michael Collins was the third crew member who piloted the spacecraft to get the team back safely from the moon and home to Earth.

Before heading home, the astronauts left some commemorative items behind on the moon.

These included a patch in honor of the Apollo 1 Mission, after all three members of the crew died in a fire during a launch rehearsal.

Two memorial medals were also left in honor of Soviet cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov, who both lost their lives in tragic accidents.

A small silicon disk containing good will messages from the leaders of 73 countries around the world was also left along with a gold olive branch to symbolize global peace.
