Actually there are two NO's:
1) No, because the modern US rocket technologies are not ahead of the von Braun ones. Look, the Mask's rockets just trying to fly and they haven't launched even a single man to the outer space. In other words, they are not even worth the Soviet rocket technologies of 1961. How many years of development they have in ahead to send a men to the Moon?
2) No, because unfortunately most of technologies used in the US Moon program are lost and they can not be reinstated without their original constructors who are dead by now.
Man, the "US" Moon program was done German Nazi team headed by von Braun. The US government has paid for it and provided as many workers as required (no single doubts there). Also the US citizens were sent to the Moon like Belka and Strelka dogs were sent to the orbit by Soviets, but all the job was done by Nazis. That's a historical fact. Accept it already.
P.S. And yes, your modern rocket technologies are really suck, comparing to those invented by Nazis in 1960's of the past century. That's why your super-puper industry was absolutely unable to produce rocket engines to send Curiosity to Mars. You have bought Russian engines instead. There is no von Braun anymore, so you can depend upon Russia only.
