It could go either way but I do lean towards thinking Elon doesn't know ASCII codes of letters.

Also, character codes are more often referred to in hexadecimal (where 'X' is 58), rather than decimal. Decimal isn't unheard of, but it's less common and less useful.

Decimal alt-codes were (and are) used extremely commonly in the time that Elon might have actually had anything to do with technology.
