Elon Musk shared a meme on Sunday, Aug. 21, which termed the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the Franco-Swiss border a “demonic” technology.

What Happened: Musk posted a tweet resplendent with a frowning devil which bore the text, “Please let me use the CERN large hadron collider.”

Why It Matters: CERN said it turned on the LHC on the evening of July 5 (local time). The research organization said after three years of “upgrade and maintenance work,” the particle collider will run at the record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts (TeV).

The LHC is known for the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, but research recently has been focused on the discovery of a hypothetical particle that could be the constituent of dark matter, according to CERN.

CERN said in its blog “Angels&Demons — the science behind the story” that the creation of black holes as a result of its experimentation is “very unlikely.”

Price Action: On Friday, Tesla shares closed 2.05% lower at $890 in the regular session and fell 0.5% in extended trading, according to data from Benzinga Pro. 

Benzinga’s Take: Musk’s demon reference could be a light-hearted take on the title of CERN’s blog, which in turn is a play on “Angels & Demons,” a Ron Howard film in which Tom Hanks plays Harvard academic Robert Langdon.
