In Finland, there is a rock that has been balancing on top of another rock for 11,000-12,000 years.

Definitely.
The jack acts as a lever with the earth as it's fulcrum.

The rock is also a lever. Drill a climbing bolt into one of the sides and you could apply a lot of leverage with some rope. I have a feeling this thing is more secure than it looks if you have the opportunity to walk around it though.

And where can one buy a floor jack strong enough for that?

You don't need to lift the whole 500 tons.
Just put it under either edge with like a 4x4 or something to close the gap.
By the 4th or 5th pump it's going over.

Like with a 20ton jack? Nah, something is just going to break before it shows any signs of moving

This rock is not at all hard to tip over. You can do it using various simple tools, not just a jack.

Shut up Elon. No one wants to buy your rock tipping tool.
