So yes. Though its not big enough to complete a proper Lunar Landing in one go like the Saturn-5.

And....
"Wow, did you guys see that? That was awesome," said SpaceX commentator Lauren Lyons as applause thundered through mission control.
Loaded with Musk's red Tesla and a mannequin in a spacesuit, the monster rocket's test voyage has captured the world's imagination.
About two minutes into the flight, the two side boosters peeled away and made their way back toward Earth for an upright landing.
Both rockets landed side by side in unison on launchpads, live video images showed.
"And the Falcons have landed," Lyons said.
The third, center booster was to attempt a landing on an ocean platform.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Watching the two boosters come down side by side. I mean, if you can land one, it makes sense that you can land two, at the same time I guess, seeing as they separated together, but the visual was so much more than twice as impressive.
Still haven't heard if the center booster landed successfully.

Center booster was lost. It apparently didn't have enough of the material used to relight the engines, so only 2/3 relit and it hit the water at 300 MPH. Musk says he's hoping there's video that he can"Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from trolling."
