Elon Musk called out Earth's 17-mile-long 'death machine' that people believed could end all humankind

People are wondering whether it's just a meme

Elon Musk has never been one to hold back his opinions, and a statement he made back in 2022 has started to circulate again.

The Tesla CEO took to X (then, Twitter) to take aim at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, calling it ‘demonic technology’.

Whether he was purely joking about this is something only Musk knows.

Normally, this might just be seen as another meme from the billionaire (almost trillionaire), but the problem is that posts like this add fire to the conspiracies that theorise CERN’s technology could bring about the end of humanity.

If you haven't heard of CERN, it's the European Organization for Nuclear Research and it's located on the France–Switzerland border in Meyrin, Geneva.



In 2019, the company's Large Hadron Collider was the talk of the news.

The Collider is a monster proton smasher and is famous for the 2012 Higgs-Boson discovery, which explained why atoms exist and granted us new knowledge about the origins of the universe.

In 2022, CERN powered the Large Hadron Collider back up again with the aim to learn more about anti-matter and dark matter, according to SwissInfo.

Naturally with most complex theories in science, there's always room for a flurry of conspiracy theories to come about.

Back in 2022, the SpaceX founder tweeted out a spooky-looking meme with the caption: “Please let me use the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

"I am normal and can be trusted with a demonic technology unlike anything the world has ever seen.”

The tweet definitely had some sort of conspiracy hinted within it. And other social media users have commented on their opinions on CERN itself and its eerie background.

“Looks like 666,” one user commented on the CERN logo whilst another wrote: “It’s literally 666 you can’t deny that.”

Others have taken a more playful stance by saying: "Should I be cenCERNed?" and "Humans should be conCERNed".

Others think that if Musk's tweet is more than a joke, technology like this falling into the wrong hands could spell disaster for humanity.

Another X user Luke Zaleski tweeted: "We’re all gonna die if Elon gets his hands on that thing. We’ve seen this movie before. Strong Dr Strange vibes."
