The man who brought us electric cars, reusable rockets, and flame-throwers is back—this time with his boldest idea yet.
At a surprise midnight livestream, Elon Musk stunned the world by declaring his next insane goal: to launch an artificial SECOND MOON that will orbit Earth and “give us better lighting at night.”
“Streetlights are inefficient. It’s time we upgraded the sky,” Musk said casually, sipping a can of Diet Coke.
Project Lunaris: “Because One Moon Just Isn’t Enough”
The project, reportedly called Lunaris, is a SpaceX mega-initiative to construct and launch a massive solar-reflective satellite that mimics the brightness and orbit of the real Moon—but brighter, cleaner, and controllable.
“We’ll position it perfectly so people can enjoy moonlight dinners without candles,” Musk added, smiling.
According to leaked blueprints, the “moon” would:
-
Be the size of Manhattan
-
Reflect sunlight during Earth’s night
-
Be powered by Tesla’s solar tech
-

Astronomers… Not Exactly Happy
Not everyone is thrilled. The global astronomy community has already begun protesting what they call “a cosmic billboard”.
“This will ruin the natural night sky, disrupt ecosystems, and blind half the planet,” said one NASA scientist.
Elon’s reply on X (formerly Twitter):
“L + Ratio + Make your own moon then ”
Public Reaction: Shock, Memes, and… Preorders?
As always, the internet exploded:
-
#SecondMoon trended instantly.
-
Some praised Musk for “thinking light-years ahead.”
-
Others demanded he “fix Twitter first.”
Yet shockingly, Tesla fans are already lining up to buy ‘Moon Memberships’ that allegedly let users control the moon’s brightness in their area.
One package, priced at $9.99/month, is being promoted as:
“Dim the Moon for Date Night. Brighten It for Backyard BBQs.”
Launch Date?
Musk claims the second moon will launch via Starship “sometime in 2028,” but insiders suggest it’s still in concept stages—though knowing Elon, nothing’s impossible (or off-limits).
Final Thought
Whether it’s a marketing stunt or a genuine dream, one thing’s certain:
