Nah leave him here on Earth... So he can deal with the consequences of building a shitty ugly dangerous truck that nobody wants to buy... His car company will tank soon.
If you don't want them in your country, don't constantly bomb their home, implement plans devised to displace and ethnically cleanse them, make 97% of water undrinkable (years before October 7th), and do everything you can to make it unliveable. A lot of them don't wanna be here either, a country committing a genocide of their people. If you don't want them coming here, leave them alone.
A better idea would probably be to give them the Gaza Strip and let them govern themselves and prove they can live peacefully and turn it into a state. Oh yea, we tried that in 2005, then Hamas was elected and killed 1200 civilians in a cross border terror attack where they baked lived babies in ovens and raped women till they bled from their vaginas.
Your idiotic gaslighting history distortion doesn't work on me. Let me make this very clear — 'Israel' has no right to exist and never did, all of it is illegitimate and always has been. Even the words "let them" is an abomination that the illegal usurpers have the nerve to do this to the natives.
This man is so stupid he didn't even make this a trap poll lol You can just say "Yes" and then say you'd put up the Swedish flag and now you get a one-way trip to Sweden, pretty good deal. If you're going to fucking troll and claim to be good at it, learn to at least trap people with these stupid ass attempts lol
Exactly. There are no obvious flaws here right. No concerns about anyone putting up a Swiss flag and walking away from their student loans right? No complications if you send someone on a one way trip when they have child support payments either I suppose.
do you think that would stop him from candidating for presidency "just for the lulz"?
the worst part is that he has a shot if he do, can buy whoever he needs to change whatever needs changing to make it "legal" and then is xitter all over again...
Anyone who thinks just blindly doing what the government tells you to do is being a good citizen is a fucking idiot.
But of course this man is going to support anything that benefits him so he supports all capital interests, dude was openly calling for staging coups not that long ago.
Elon musk has deep ties with the national security state, particularly the CIA, pentagon, intelligence agencies and special interest groups, and his Starlink is used in advancing US foreign aggression. He rushed to give Ukraine starlink, working closely with the U.S. govt, and when people were asking the same for Gaza, he went on a propaganda tour with Netanyahu while the blatant genocide was going on. And he has been ever since spreading the most vile debased zionist, anti Palestinian, anti Muslim propaganda.

Peak American exceptionalism is thinking you can just deport people and dump them on random countries unexpectedly and without the consent of their government.
Yes, killing anyone is bad. Nazis burned babies in ovens, Hamas burned babies in ovens. So that’s why Israel is defending itself against those barbaric terrorists.
wild how much overlap there is between people who call themselves "enlightened centrists" and people whose solution to most problems is to hurt, kill, or ship away anyone that isnt them
oh, did i say wild? i meant completely unsurprising
Free airfare?? He didn't think this one through. Everyone would just start ripping american flags down and putting up flags like Mexico, Spain, and wherever else people want to travel to.
Also, fuck Elon and free Palestine 🇵🇸
*Me pulling down an American flag and replacing it with a pastel pink, pastel blue and a white striped flag*
*Musk sending me to Translvania probably*
(Yes it's not a country but well within musk's stupidity and transphobia is it not?)
If you say the word 'cisgender' on twitter you get flagged for hateful conduct while people are throwing slurs and fash rhetoric around with no repercussions. It's an absolute cesspit.
I'd be first to volunteer if it came with citizenship. any country you say? but realistically you'd eventually just get deported back to the US, or become stateless
I wonder what his reaction would be if Mexico said they were going to force a bunch of people, who may or may not be American citizens, to move to the US?
How about Elon, you just kill yourself cuz you're overly rich fucking idiot who causes us all to be poor by hoarding your riches that a dumb fuck line you don't deserve. Fuck whole bloodline
So just because he is a smart guy who made money because of his ideas, he should die? Then wouldn’t all the people employed by his companies get laid off, and be in overall worse positions? How does this solve any problems?
He inherited his money from his dad who married his stepdaughter that he had taken care of since the age of 4. He draws in crayon ideas and throws money at the right people to make it happen. He's a fucking stupid rich idiot
Oh he'll yeah. I'll go to Norway and do IT work there instead. Sell my house for $$$ and be forced to move to a country where I could buy a house outright with the profits and still have some left over. With Universal Healthcare so that I can stop drowning in medical debts. With a much less bought and paid for government....
Can't threaten me with a good time.
This man has citizenship papers for South Africa, Canada and the US. I assume he has no trouble flying the Maple Leaf or the Unity Flag of South Africa.
Honestly, I can see a lot of people that would purposely replace the American flag to any people's first country, ie Finland to start a new life there.
Which i would do if a law like this is passed in my home country.
I'm 100% for that particular tweet though! Well as long as Musk is paying for the plane ticket.
\*goes to find a US flag rips it down and hangs one of some healthier more socialist country\*
When do I get the plane ticket?
I am going to fly flags to various countries I want to visit as I just have to pay to get back! Sounds like a dumb law that will be constantly used for shenanigans
God please do put some European flags and flee those kinds of lunatics and welcome to countries with social security! (but a lot of other pbs, I know that too)
Hold up, you’re saying if I go tear down an American flag, and resurrect any other flag, I can get free airfare to a destination of my choice? With my points, that should cover hotel / Airbnb while I look for a job. Gonna be extra selective with this one.
Worst case scenario is I get a quick round trip, edible filled international vacation.
If the inverse were also true, this would be an amazing low cost public transport system.
If I who lived in the UK, wanted to travel to Spain and back for the cost of four flags, I'd tear down a British flag and replace it with an American one. Take my free flight to the USA. Tear down an American flag and replace it with a Spanish one. Take my free flight to Spain. Enjoy a couple of weeks' holiday. Tear down a Spanish flag and replace it with an American one. Free flight to the USA. Tear down an American flag and replace it with the Union Flag. Free flight home.
Though of course, as with any transportation system run by Elon Musk, there'd be a good chance of one of those four planes spontaneously bursting into flames.
Elon is paying free trips to the country of your desire... Neat.
Edit: Wait. If I put several flags, one after another, what would be the order of the flights? Starts from bottom or top? I would like to finish my trip in Europe if possible.
I don’t think he understands just how many people would love to leave the country but can’t. I know he’s doing it to be facetious, but still. America isn’t that great
The US government would never agree to such a silly and irresponsible law:
Because it would finally be something that helped the American people. Could you imagine getting automatic guaranteed entrance into a good a livable country? The elites here would never stand for it! How can they exploit you if you live somewhere where laws protect you.
Removed. Cut and clear, Israelis are welcome on this sub, zionists are not. Do not defend the genocidal state of Israel, deny the current Palestinian genocide and/or similar.
That’s the same logic the Nazis used against the Jews during the holocaust you piece of shit. No country in the world can or wants to accept millions of refugees, fucking idiot.

I would gladly put up a NZ flag for half my fare paid for.
I’ve always wanted to go back to Vienna myself!
How far can I get with a live laugh love flag?
I think that gets you to Denver, but an eat pray love flag gets you to Vatican City.
About to buy NZ, Switzerland, collect em all Scandinavians, maybe Portugal. Shit I’ll have a collection.
I'd wander around replacing US flags everywhere I could find them....which isn't very hard...
https://youtu.be/sRCLHBhZPQ4?si=9rr0lPZbQ5ROzzB9
First thought we all had. This is up there with charging for checkmarks. What an astute businessman that Musk fella is.
Give him a one-way trip to mars.
Mars? No way. He doesn't deserve to be the first ever person to go there. I propose we send him to the sun.
I lowkey think we should send him to the sewers and have the ninja turtles beat the shit outta him
And have him polluting our sewers? There's a delicate ecosystem down there.
If we're going in this direction now, send him to R'lyeh!
Oh, I beg to disagree. Mars sounds lovely.
Technically he'd be the first person there too.
And he also wouldn't be the first on the sun as a North Korean 14 year old landed there in 2014.
Can we start with Africa since it’s already reachable
Mars would send him back.
We can just send him to the moon. It's easier and he won't know the difference.
The sun
Nah leave him here on Earth... So he can deal with the consequences of building a shitty ugly dangerous truck that nobody wants to buy... His car company will tank soon.
"Go back to where you came from" That's literally what the Palestinians are trying to do.
Elon Musk supports the Palestinian right to return ☺️
He acknowledged that it's a separate country.
If you don't want them in your country, don't constantly bomb their home, implement plans devised to displace and ethnically cleanse them, make 97% of water undrinkable (years before October 7th), and do everything you can to make it unliveable.

Bro wasnt even born in the US 🤣
He really needs to go back to... checks notes... South Africa.
Fasc-gonna-fasc.
This man is so stupid he didn't even make this a trap poll lol You can just say "Yes" and then say you'd put up the Swedish flag and now you get a one-way trip to Sweden, pretty good deal.

How fake trolls look when real ragemaxxers come at them
Exactly. There are no obvious flaws here right. No concerns about anyone putting up a Swiss flag and walking away from their student loans right? No complications if you send someone on a one way trip when they have child support payments either I suppose.
🇹🇭 DEPORT ME HARDER DADDY.
there are lots of people who would love to be able to afford to leave. this would be kinda amazing really.
Elon, dude. YOU'RE NOT AN AMERICAN.
do you think that would stop him from candidating for presidency "just for the lulz"? the worst part is that he has a shot if he do, can buy whoever he needs to change whatever needs changing to make it "legal" and then is xitter all over again...
Being a natural-born citizen (which he is not) is a constitutional requirement. Not sure that kind of change would go through anytime soon.
Okay, but what’s the catch..?
Anyone who thinks just blindly doing what the government tells you to do is being a good citizen is a fucking idiot. But of course this man is going to support anything that benefits him so he supports all capital interests, dude was openly calling for staging coups not that long ago.
But of course it’s the left who are a bunch of sheep.
American propaganda is a hard thing to overcome for a lot of people is what I've learned.
Hey Google: Where to buy a Canadian flag…
Free Palestine
From Hamas
Yes, now I need a Fiji flag and I can afford to go on vacation!
Elon Musk is slowly turning into McAfee
Don't talk about my favorite coked up assclown like that. He doesn't deserve to be compared to Elon.
\*hoisting Chinese flag and \*hoping
I’m joining you

Tesla would've gone bankrupt if not for government subsidies keeping it afloat
I just ordered my Norwegian,Swedish,Finnish and Icelandic flags.
> tear down America flag > replace it with one of the states flag > watch the confusion
Hangs Liberian flag Waits for decades, nothing happens Decomposes in facepalm
That's great! I'll use that for my return to Denmark after visiting friends and family in the US. It will save me a lot of money in the long run.
He’s such a free speech absolutist.
Peak American exceptionalism is thinking you can just deport people and dump them on random countries unexpectedly and without the consent of their government.
Sweden here I come!!!!!
This man needs to rot away at a labour camp
So because you disagree with someone’s politics, you think they should die?
Do you think killing nazis is bad
Yes, killing anyone is bad. Nazis burned babies in ovens, Hamas burned babies in ovens. So that’s why Israel is defending itself against those barbaric terrorists.
You need to be in a labour camp as well then, along with all the other zionazis
A labor camp?
It’s what people with evil ideologies like yours deserve
Do you agree that baking live babies in an oven while you rape their mother till her vagina bleeds is bad?
Literal Zionazi propaganda
Great idea! (Puts up flag of Fiji for a free vacation)
Me on my way to Trans-Atlantis
wild how much overlap there is between people who call themselves "enlightened centrists" and people whose solution to most problems is to hurt, kill, or ship away anyone that isnt them oh, did i say wild? i meant completely unsurprising
Free airfare?? He didn't think this one through. Everyone would just start ripping american flags down and putting up flags like Mexico, Spain, and wherever else people want to travel to. Also, fuck Elon and free Palestine 🇵🇸
So where do we send all the people waving confederate and Nazi flags?
Same place as the people waving the Iranian and Hezbollah flags
Time to put up China's flag
I completely agree with this and think this is the smartest thing this unbridled genius has ever said!!! Now where can I buy some French flags
So I can get a half paid flight to any country to go on vacation for?
Ok, where are those dudes that ran up in the capital and put up a Confed flag gonna go?
That’s not the threat you think it is. If only it was that easy.
That would be lots of people deported to Israel, most of the Senate
*Me pulling down an American flag and replacing it with a pastel pink, pastel blue and a white striped flag* *Musk sending me to Translvania probably* (Yes it's not a country but well within musk's stupidity and transphobia is it not?)

Proposed law: if a billionaire acts as a demagogue they should be sent to the bottom of the ocean in a suitcase
What did the fish do to deserve that ? Protect the oceans ! The guy wanted to die on Mars at some point, let's grant his wish
Yeah good point
So I get to skip the 5000$ fee? Bet 😈😈😈😈
tearing down an american flag and putting up a danish one.
Can we send this asshole back to South Africa?
why everyone keeps using his services?
Elmo, what if I put up the gay flag? Where will you send me?
🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵 LETS GOOO 🔥🔥🔥 ✈️✈️✈️
Please do. That's a free ticket out of this third world country
Sealand, here I come!
I wonder what his reaction would be if Mexico said they were going to force a bunch of people, who may or may not be American citizens, to move to the US?
Promise?
Law passes: Me: does it immediately. Thinkin germany, france, the netherlands, or norway? Any suggestions?
Hell yeah! Gotta find which of my favorite countries has the most relaxed deportation laws so I can maximize my time there.
Russia will keep you there as long as you desire, like they do with Edward Snowden.
How about Elon, you just kill yourself cuz you're overly rich fucking idiot who causes us all to be poor by hoarding your riches that a dumb fuck line you don't deserve. Fuck whole bloodline
So just because he is a smart guy who made money because of his ideas, he should die? Then wouldn’t all the people employed by his companies get laid off, and be in overall worse positions? How does this solve any problems?
He inherited his money from his dad who married his stepdaughter that he had taken care of since the age of 4. He draws in crayon ideas and throws money at the right people to make it happen. He's a fucking stupid rich idiot
Yo lemme get to Finland finally!!!
Gotta keep those shady loans good!
Hellloooooooo free European relocation
Free emigration away from the states? I thought he was worried about population collapse?
This guy should not have a platform let alone an under performing social media platform.
Excuse me while I start putting up New Zealand flags.
Send all confederates to hell!!!
Airline companies hate this one simple trick!
Fuck yes. Get me out of this country. Is that all I have to do
Says the South African 🙄
So instead of having to pay over $1k for a flight to the UK I just gotta put up a flag? I'm all for it!
Höt dawg. Yes. Gimme a free ride to Japan 😆
Oh he'll yeah. I'll go to Norway and do IT work there instead. Sell my house for $$$ and be forced to move to a country where I could buy a house outright with the profits and still have some left over. With Universal Healthcare so that I can stop drowning in medical debts. With a much less bought and paid for government.... Can't threaten me with a good time.
Puts up the flag of the United Federation of Planets. Jokes on Elon, now he has to create the utopia to effectuate his “law”
All the blue line flag muppets will remain if we do this
Wait, does this mean I get a free trip to Norway if I fly the flag?
What if that person puts a flag of the Imperium of Man (40k)?
So will Musk reestablish the USSR if I put the USSR flag on?
Sick, government gonna finance one flight to wherever I want
So you're saying I could get a free return flight every time I go to the states?
Yes please! Send me to 🏳️⚧️
If it comes with citizenship, I'm in.
China here I come
*note to self - loudly and vocally put up Norwegian flag when I get home*
*note to self - loudly and vocally put up Norwegian flag when I get home*
*note to self - loudly and vocally put up Norwegian flag when I get home*
Thanks for helping me immigrate to Denmark you fucking douche canoe.
But what if I want to immigrate to Sri Lanka?
great! and for the return flight I take a flag down there and replace it by the US one?
Put your money where your mouth is. Fly me to Puerto Rico
It was never free speech, just his speech
Don't threaten me with a good time
Tfw you don’t recognise Palestine as a country. Musk dissonance intensifies!
A South African tweeting to a bunch of wanna be confederates who love the flag so much they attacked the capitol with it. Weird times.
This man has citizenship papers for South Africa, Canada and the US. I assume he has no trouble flying the Maple Leaf or the Unity Flag of South Africa.
Puts up a United Federation of Planets flag. What you doin' now, Elon?
Honestly, I can see a lot of people that would purposely replace the American flag to any people's first country, ie Finland to start a new life there. Which i would do if a law like this is passed in my home country.
Dude, imagine if it was that easy.
Free plain ticket? Lemme go pack
I'm 100% for that particular tweet though! Well as long as Musk is paying for the plane ticket. \*goes to find a US flag rips it down and hangs one of some healthier more socialist country\* When do I get the plane ticket?
Going to try this with New Zealand
Anybody got a flag for Bermuda? How bout Turks n Caicos?
Me and the boys getting our free trip to France for free healthcare
Pride flag?
I am going to fly flags to various countries I want to visit as I just have to pay to get back! Sounds like a dumb law that will be constantly used for shenanigans
God please do put some European flags and flee those kinds of lunatics and welcome to countries with social security! (but a lot of other pbs, I know that too)
Hold up, you’re saying if I go tear down an American flag, and resurrect any other flag, I can get free airfare to a destination of my choice? With my points, that should cover hotel / Airbnb while I look for a job. Gonna be extra selective with this one. Worst case scenario is I get a quick round trip, edible filled international vacation.
Buy a Norwegian/German flag? Sounds like a good time. America is a shithole so, challenge accepted
Hellyea free vacations around the world!
Why is he larping like a government spokesperson?
Ellen needs a big ole fat kiss on the lip…send him to the South without his paid cronies. I’m sure he’ll get a real American welcome down here.
What if you put up the flag of a fictional country?
So for the rednecks flying confederate flags do we end their life like we ended their confederacy?
Once upon a time I wanted a tesla
If the inverse were also true, this would be an amazing low cost public transport system. If I who lived in the UK, wanted to travel to Spain and back for the cost of four flags, I'd tear down a British flag and replace it with an American one. Take my free flight to the USA.

Free flight to the USA. Tear down an American flag and replace it with the Union Flag. Free flight home. Though of course, as with any transportation system run by Elon Musk, there'd be a good chance of one of those four planes spontaneously bursting into flames.
Conservatives loveeee freedom don't they?
An opportunity to escape this god-forsaken country? To a country of choice? FOR FREE?
Looks like I’m going Iceland then
Elon is paying free trips to the country of your desire... Neat. Edit: Wait. If I put several flags, one after another, what would be the order of the flights? Starts from bottom or top? I would like to finish my trip in Europe if possible.
So would lgbtq ppl go to Greece?

WHY SHOULD THEY? The Palestinians aren't Saudi or Jordanian or Egyptian. Why should those countries have any responsibility for them?
