"Free speech absolutist" indeed.

But not those guys who pulled down the US flag and put up MAGA flags, "because MAGA is American"
Elon is just a rich boy. Nothing more. He doesn't have any original thoughts or notions, he just casts about looking for approval from people who would applaud a suicide and be upset at the existence of Elliot Page.
StellarJay77
Ladies and gentlemen, Elon Musk. The man who spent 44 Billion to convert a platform to a bastion of free speech so he can advocate for stripping the rights of free speech from others who don't use his approved free speech.

The Jan 6 insurrectionists tore down Old Glory from the Capitol and put up a Trump flag. Do they get a one way trip to Mar-a-Lago?

Elon's proposal in a nutshell: "If someone takes down an American flag, we violate all their legal and civil rights."
Anytime the symbol of your "ideals" becomes more important than the ideals it actually stands for...you've lost your fucking way. Period. The flag is a piece of fabric. Get over it. But what it stands for is freedom, liberty, and things like the right to protest.
KingPython
What is more important, the flag or the people it represents and what they have to say?

So i wonder if this will change the minds of any of his idiot fucking cultist followers who think he's a genius. Or are they just okay with not having freedom of speech/expression?

No, no, it's just *those* people that'll get stepped on. They'd never do that to us! /s

Nope, they wholeheartedly support the leopards eating people's faces party.

You know he's saying this because if this were to occur, somehow, those sent to Palestine would also be in the crosshairs of genocide. ElQn is a fascist fuckface.
easyoneundone
he is so unbelievably dumb
LincLoud
If that actually worked, a lot of people would use it as a way to go and live in countries with a better quality of life. I'd be off to Sweden in a heart beat.
louiszwu
People always confuse symbols with the things they're meant to represent. It's easy to venerate a piece of cloth. Much harder to stand by the ideals behind it.
StellarJay77
Case in point the American flag is supposed to represent freedom of speech and expression among many other things which is the thing Musk is advocating against with this suggestion. It's astounding that the hypocrisy is ignored by all his sycophants that X is supposed to be a bastion of free speech and a representation of Elon's beliefs.

or flying Trump flags ABOVE the American flag - which is against the flag code they get all but hurt about when someone kneels - send them to Mara Lago?

If i raise an elon flag do I get a 1 way trip to the insane asylum?

Why is it so easy to trick americans into sabotaging their own rights and freedoms, this "flag burning" debate comes up like all the time, and so many idiots always want to give anyone who "disrespects" the flag the death penalty or something and it's always fucking stupid because they're the same idiots screeching about how sacred the constitution is, but they havent read it or something??
PaulTomblin
Uh oh, we’ve got a pride flag up on our house. I don’t want to get deported to Prideland.

NarratesTheDarkerStory
meh, I just tried it to go to Hawaii. state flags don't work, so you just keep getting randomly teleported. 76 times. I teleported 76 times and went to Nome, Alaska 3 of them, and how many swamps do we have in the US? seriously! 50 of those times were some vast plains so I think I've lost my rational mind for a bit.

Good news! There's an embassy in each one with an American flag! When you're ready to visit the next one, go to the embassy... swap the new flag in... and *poof* you're on the next leg of your Nordic tour!
romylys6514
Most of us cannot afford to move to a new country anyways. Still, I sometimes wish my ancestors would not have decided to move here.
rex314
Anything but Finland; it's way too crowded here already - just look at this horrible lack of personal space on the bus stop: Only a few scant meters between each Finn, I can only imagine the absolute hell this must've been for these people!
ComicSansHumor
There's a joke around these parts (California) that when COVID hit and Finns were told to stay 2m apart they said, "Why so close?"

Fuck you and the "immigrants aren't real Americans" horse you rode in on.
AutismVaccine
Don't give a shit about Americans either way, I'm not from there.
walnutbreath
Then keep your unwanted bigotry to yourself.
AutismVaccine
This isn't about bigotry. I love immigrants, my mom is an immigrant. But she is still proud of her birth country's flag. Try not to view the world only through the eyes of American politics when you're on the Internet.
walnutbreath
"The immigrants aren't real citizens" is a well worn bigoted trope. And of course, I'm applying an American politics filter because we're discussing American politics.
crodrigues
shhh don't let his fanatic fans find out that he is an illegal immigrant or they'll *checks notes* ignore it completely and pretend he's still their leader freedom of speech leader who's rightfully telling that people they don't like should be deported unless they follow their ideals blindly.
walnutbreath
He's not an illegal immigrant. He's a U.S. citizen.
crodrigues
Sure, of course, if we ignore the part about being an illegal immigrant before becoming a U.S. citizen by paying the right people to look away, which is pretty much a reflection of our country for anything poor people get punished for while rich people get excused. But thanks for proving my point. https://qz.com/elon-musk-illegal-immigration-tesla-video-1851379406
nclu
And he's spouting this at the same time he's bringing back a notable white supremacist because quote: "principles"
dorenavant
Wait, who is he bringing back?
rshini
Nick Fuentes. Notice that surname. This is a man who isn't just a nazi, he openly loves Hitler
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Yeah, Musk isn't just signalling to the nazis he's one of them, he's helping promote their messaging.
dorenavant
That’s rich given Fuentes is of Mexican heritage. And Elon can eat a bag of dicks; I’m so fed up with Apartheid Clyde.
nclu
There's a huge amount of hierarchy, racism, and melanism within Mexican culture. Traditionally, as "whiteness" and white supremacy has faded in popularity new groups that accept and celebrate conservative hierarchies of power suddenly become white. There is currently some shift going on and look towards acceptance of sufficiently Spanish blooded Central and South Americans in white supremacist movements
rshini
there's also the fact Fuentes reacts with discomfort when a woman hits on him, claims he's keeping himself pure until he's 30 and recently had a male roommate who moved out because he got a 'girlfriend' - I hate doing it but there is actually a good chance bitchboy is a closet case.
LoudBirb
Yo, fuck the fart sniffing Sasquatch occasionally known as Elon, but an immigrant American citizen is an American citizen. It's still our flag, even if we weren't born here.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Isn't he a US citizen, though? Then it's his flag. Immigrants count.
Frederf
Not according to him. No undesirable is ever validly immigrated.
Raikupath
The only people who aren't immigrants are native americans.
StewedTomaters
Depends on if we're following science or mythology - they had to cross the Bering Strait to get here in the first place. Humans migrate constantly
terdFerguson3electricFergaloo
He should be sanctioned and deported like the other oligarch assholes
coolbrood
I agree with this message, but I'll point out that he spouts plenty of anti-immigrant nonsense himself...and, as seen on Some More News, may have had a questionable immigration himself.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Not saying he isn't a hypocritical cunt. Just saying it is still his flag. He's still very racist.
coolbrood
Yep! Both are true, and worth keeping in mind.
abraxasfury

I want Elon's response to this answer to his bone headed question. Why can he continue to ask bone headed questions and never have to answer them? Because he spent 45 billion on a platform of Elon. Fuck all of you with accounts still on the platform of Elon.

cuddleskunk
The Confederacy, was an enemy state. As they are representing a combination of insurrection and treason, and their continued existence basically proves that the Confederacy still exists, that means that they are openly supporting a hostile enemy as a U.S. citizen and even abetting them...well, the law is pretty clear on high treason.
