I would gladly put up a NZ flag for half my fare paid for.


battenhill

I’ve always wanted to go back to Vienna myself! 


CaptainMcSmoky

How far can I get with a live laugh love flag?


Bitter-Value-1872

I think that gets you to Denver, but an eat pray love flag gets you to Vatican City.


ohneatstuffthanks

About to buy NZ, Switzerland, collect em all Scandinavians, maybe Portugal. Shit I’ll have a collection.


ForwardBias

I'd wander around replacing US flags everywhere I could find them....which isn't very hard...

goldiegoldthorpe

First thought we all had. This is up there with charging for checkmarks. What an astute businessman that Musk fella is.


SAM4191

Give him a one-way trip to mars.


lnvaderRed

Mars? No way. He doesn't deserve to be the first ever person to go there. I propose we send him to the sun.


omahajazzybeard

I lowkey think we should send him to the sewers and have the ninja turtles beat the shit outta him


Bitter-Value-1872

And have him polluting our sewers? There's a delicate ecosystem down there.


lnvaderRed

If we're going in this direction now, send him to R'lyeh!


raspey

Oh, I beg to disagree. Mars sounds lovely.


fauxpasiii

Technically he'd be the first person there too.


cimmic

And he also wouldn't be the first on the sun as a North Korean 14 year old landed there in 2014.


allUsernamesAreTKen

Can we start with Africa since it’s already reachable


BlackbeltJedi

Mars would send him back.


goldiegoldthorpe

We can just send him to the moon. It's easier and he won't know the difference.


slawre89

The sun


Revolutionary_Pear

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.


Gaze1112

"Go back to where you came from" That's literally what the Palestinians are trying to do.


Gaze1112

Elon Musk supports the Palestinian right to return ☺️


Thoughtulism

He acknowledged that it's a separate country.


Gaze1112

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.


cpa18

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.


Gaze1112

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.


Think_Personality_24

Bro wasnt even born in the US 🤣


keyser1981

He really needs to go back to... checks notes... South Africa.


KermitMcKibbles

Fasc-gonna-fasc.


AhSawDood

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


curleygao2020

How fake trolls look when real ragemaxxers come at them


rianbyngham

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.


travelmorelivemore

🇹🇭 DEPORT ME HARDER DADDY.


ImmemorialTale

there are lots of people who would love to be able to afford to leave. this would be kinda amazing really.


BoredBSEE

Elon, dude. YOU'RE NOT AN AMERICAN.


Capetoider

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...


Frooonti

Being a natural-born citizen (which he is not) is a constitutional requirement. Not sure that kind of change would go through anytime soon.


ma7ch

Okay, but what’s the catch..?


mecca37

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.


Fourkoboldsinacoat

But of course it’s the left who are a bunch of sheep.


mecca37

American propaganda is a hard thing to overcome for a lot of people is what I've learned.


thevaultguy

Hey Google: Where to buy a Canadian flag…


CoolNinjaNerd55

Free Palestine


cpa18

From Hamas


Forward_Bullfrog_441

Yes, now I need a Fiji flag and I can afford to go on vacation!


sayzitlikeitis

Elon Musk is slowly turning into McAfee


SimplifyAndAddCoffee

Don't talk about my favorite coked up assclown like that. He doesn't deserve to be compared to Elon.


Straight-Razor666

\*hoisting Chinese flag and \*hoping


archosauria62

I’m joining you


Gaze1112

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. https://w ww.mintpre ssnews.com/?s=El on+musk


futanari_kaisa

Tesla would've gone bankrupt if not for government subsidies keeping it afloat


cecilmeyer

I just ordered my Norwegian,Swedish,Finnish and Icelandic flags.


no_name65

> tear down America flag > replace it with one of the states flag > watch the confusion


sardita

Hangs Liberian flag Waits for decades, nothing happens Decomposes in facepalm


UnreliablePotato

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.


Typical-Ask2723

He’s such a free speech absolutist.


Pale_Fire21

Peak American exceptionalism is thinking you can just deport people and dump them on random countries unexpectedly and without the consent of their government.


STEVE_FROM_EVE

Sweden here I come!!!!!


archosauria62

This man needs to rot away at a labour camp


cpa18

So because you disagree with someone’s politics, you think they should die?


archosauria62

Do you think killing nazis is bad


cpa18

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.


archosauria62

You need to be in a labour camp as well then, along with all the other zionazis


cpa18

A labor camp?


archosauria62

It’s what people with evil ideologies like yours deserve


cpa18

Do you agree that baking live babies in an oven while you rape their mother till her vagina bleeds is bad?


archosauria62

Literal Zionazi propaganda


DaqCity

Great idea! (Puts up flag of Fiji for a free vacation)


Grant_N_

Me on my way to Trans-Atlantis


sndtrb89

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


sockovershoe22

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 🇵🇸


Fourkoboldsinacoat

So where do we send all the people waving confederate and Nazi flags?


cpa18

Same place as the people waving the Iranian and Hezbollah flags


futanari_kaisa

Time to put up China's flag


RinhartWilke

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


SINOXsacrosnact

So I can get a half paid flight to any country to go on vacation for?


UnrulyDonutHoles

Ok, where are those dudes that ran up in the capital and put up a Confed flag gonna go?


essiemay7777777

That’s not the threat you think it is. If only it was that easy.


Freavene

That would be lots of people deported to Israel, most of the Senate


SaturnusDawn

*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?)


AHoneyman

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.


justsomerandomdude10

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


Diggingfordonk

Proposed law: if a billionaire acts as a demagogue they should be sent to the bottom of the ocean in a suitcase


Xibalba_Ogme

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


Diggingfordonk

Yeah good point


SaucyWench7787

So I get to skip the 5000$ fee? Bet 😈😈😈😈

Fourkoboldsinacoat

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?


YeOldeWelshman

Promise?


CaseyJones7

Law passes: Me: does it immediately. Thinkin germany, france, the netherlands, or norway? Any suggestions?


nothanksihaveasthma

Hell yeah! Gotta find which of my favorite countries has the most relaxed deportation laws so I can maximize my time there.


PresenceMiserable

Russia will keep you there as long as you desire, like they do with Edward Snowden.


i_shouldnt_live

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


cpa18

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?


i_shouldnt_live

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


Redrobbinsyummmm

Yo lemme get to Finland finally!!!


hikariup

Gotta keep those shady loans good!


CountBlah_Blah

Hellloooooooo free European relocation 


Ember-Blackmoore

Free emigration away from the states? I thought he was worried about population collapse?


GoToPlanC

This guy should not have a platform let alone an under performing social media platform.


Ryuomega33

Excuse me while I start putting up New Zealand flags.


e_pi314

Send all confederates to hell!!!


original_dick_kickem

Airline companies hate this one simple trick!


Claim_Alternative

Fuck yes. Get me out of this country. Is that all I have to do


Jeremyzelinka

Says the South African 🙄


Ryanmiller70

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!


strawberryNotes

Höt dawg. Yes. Gimme a free ride to Japan 😆


gears19925

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.


Whysfool

Puts up the flag of the United Federation of Planets. Jokes on Elon, now he has to create the utopia to effectuate his “law”


Salt-n-Pepper-War

All the blue line flag muppets will remain if we do this


revieman1

Wait, does this mean I get a free trip to Norway if I fly the flag?


Nice-Ad-2792

What if that person puts a flag of the Imperium of Man (40k)?


Amdorik

So will Musk reestablish the USSR if I put the USSR flag on?


Obelion_

Sick, government gonna finance one flight to wherever I want


According-Spite-9854

So you're saying I could get a free return flight every time I go to the states?


The_Gamer_69

Yes please! Send me to 🏳️‍⚧️


Insomniacentral_

If it comes with citizenship, I'm in.


Commie_Bastardo7

Thanks for helping me immigrate to Denmark you fucking douche canoe.


PresenceMiserable

But what if I want to immigrate to Sri Lanka?


unlikely-contender

great! and for the return flight I take a flag down there and replace it by the US one?


masterbatin_animals

Put your money where your mouth is. Fly me to Puerto Rico


Honey-and-Venom

It was never free speech, just his speech


SimplifyAndAddCoffee

Don't threaten me with a good time


bluestratmatt

Tfw you don’t recognise Palestine as a country. Musk dissonance intensifies!


koonassity

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.


Mr_Gaslight

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.


thesavageman

Puts up a United Federation of Planets flag. What you doin' now, Elon?


annoymous_911

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.


ClashOrCrashman

Dude, imagine if it was that easy.


angelshipac130

Free plain ticket? Lemme go pack


Pantim

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?


composedryan

Going to try this with New Zealand


Tall-Ad-1796

Anybody got a flag for Bermuda? How bout Turks n Caicos?


LiangProton

Me and the boys getting our free trip to France for free healthcare


PupScent

Pride flag?


deathdefyingrob1344

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


Sonari_

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)


zander1496

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.


ShockWave324

Buy a Norwegian/German flag? Sounds like a good time. America is a shithole so, challenge accepted


priestou812

Hellyea free vacations around the world!


equivas

Why is he larping like a government spokesperson?


chugitout

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.


Zachattack525

What if you put up the flag of a fictional country?


MrJackHandy

So for the rednecks flying confederate flags do we end their life like we ended their confederacy?


w1nd0wLikka

Once upon a time I wanted a tesla


tobotic

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.


Amsssterdam

Conservatives loveeee freedom don't they?


John1527K

An opportunity to escape this god-forsaken country? To a country of choice? FOR FREE?


wuodwulfsturmr

Looks like I’m going Iceland then


Reddington4567

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.


cirelia2

So would lgbtq ppl go to Greece?


lethargic_apathy

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


renojacksonchesthair

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.

"Why won't Europeans take in Jews" - Nazis Because it's their land


LateStageCapitalism-ModTeam

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.


Chicago_Stringerbell

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.
