Elon Musk is enjoying making fun of NASA&#039;s last mission while reminding us of infamous Will Smith Oscars controversy.

Tesla Boss Elon Musk Hilariously Memes the Recent NASA Mission Into the Infamous Will Smith and Chris Rock Slapgate

Tesla owner Elon Musk is not new to controversies. Quite recently, he had
proposed an offer to buy Twitter, but obviously, that did not happen. He was
also publicly criticizing Amazon Prime Video’s Lord of The Rings. The
billionaire has a knack for attracting trouble and attention, whether for good
or bad, from the media and his fans alike. Recently, Musk poked fun at NASA’s
latest mission with reference to the infamous Will Smith slap incident.

Just when the controversy surrounding the actor and the comedian was dying down,
Musk brings it to notice yet again with his latest post. The techie truly is
having the last laugh!

ELON MUSK REMINDS EVERYONE OF WILL SMITH AND CHRIS ROCK OSCAR SLAPGATE WITH THE
NASA MEME

The 51-year-old tech revolutionary has a unique sense of humor as he made fun of
NASA’s latest mission to crash into an asteroid. NASA
[https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/nasa-dart-photos-asteroid-impact-mission-rcna49621]
had recently tested its first attempt at planetary defense when it allowed a
spacecraft, DART, to flow right into an asteroid, Dimorphous. DART was moving at
14,000 mph speed when it crash into the asteroid at approximately 7 million
miles away from our planet.

The goal was to change the asteroid’s trajectory. Although NASA claimed that the
first mission was successful, it will still take weeks or months to know whether
the collision had an impact on its trajectory. However, NASA’s achievement was
marred when Musk uploaded the Will Smith
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/]–Chris Rock slap meme. Musk swapped
Will’s face with NASA’s logo and Rock’s face with the asteroid. His post
immediately went viral. Although some found it amusing, others raised their
eyebrows at the controversial meme.

Early this year during the 2022 Oscars night, Smith had made headlines for his
altercation with Rock on stage. For those unaware, Rock had made fun of Smith’s

wife, Jada Pinkett’s bald head. The joke caused the Aladdin star to slap Rock
across the face. It cost the actor too many roles in high-profile budgets and a
ban from the Academy for ten years.
