I don't know what to believe. Elon sort of has a point. The moon footage (specifically the lander footage as Apollo descended to the surface) seems a little difficult to fake in 1969.
On the other hand, the god damn Japanese couldn't successfully land their luner module or transmit live video of the landing when they tried last month.
I've read a lot of conspiracy theories about the moon landing and not once has CGI (computer generated imagery) ever been mentioned. I don't know what point you think he has, but he's making a strawman argument, which is a sign that he's wrong.
That is a good point. You're correct in that no one talks about CGI in the context of the moon landing. Elon is trolling and I read into his point as to meaning we didn't have the technology to fake a moon landing in 1969.
Regardless of whether Kubrick was involved or not, it would have been hard to fake 50+ years ago.
No one said faking a moon landing would be easy.
