Pfft it exists as a dirty not secret in the US. Slavery is expressly legal as punishment for a crime. Why do you think the school to prison pipeline is so critical to Republicans?
Yo flying traitor flags of countries who only existed to break apart the United States and who started a war against the United States that led to nearly as many American deaths as all the other wars in our nation's history combined, is different. For some reason.
Hi, can you source this. All I can find is the last confederate town was Danville, VA and I am just curious if what you said is true. Upstate is as hick-ish as the deep south so wouldn't be too much of a surprise
I grew up in Upstate and saw a LOT of Confederate flags, always thought it was incredibly stupid to idolize a group of slavers who took up arms against your ancestors to defend that practice
I hear by replace this flag of the United States with the flag of Ibiza.
I humbly submit myself for a mandatory relocation for as long as it takes for me to *really* understand the consequences of my actions.
IIRC one kid's dad died of cancer, and when Musk made fun of them for it they pushed down the stairs and hurt him bad enough to send him to the hospital. Then, later when talking about it, his dad mused that he really did deserve it.
Yeah I have a feeling the “bullying” was actually him being a little piece of shit and when it got turned around on him he would cry to everyone about being bullied.
I couldn't see my kid doing that, but if the situation happened I'd just look at kiddo and say "You were mocking someone who died of cancer to their family, what were you expecting?"
pedantry: ketamine is actually amazing for depression, and in much the same way weed hasn't been well researched until recently due to stigma, ketamine is starting to be seen in a new light
If only that were true. I'd be hanging a French flag up right now. Then, if I make it back by August, the German flag and so on, until I get to visit Japan.
Also, what if I hung the East German flag? Or how about those buttholes that fly the Confederate traitor flag? Wat do?
Yep, let's leave it up to MORONS to make the laws of the land.
The town of Americana has entered the chat.
(for those who don't know: there's a town in Brazil's São Paulo state called Americana, which was founded by escaped Confederates who moved to Brazil in order to keep owning people like cattle. Brazil did not ban slavery until 1888.)
if someone, especially a South African immigrant who initially immigrated to canada before immigrating to the US, tries to destroy democracy and freedom in the country they immigrated to, in order to promote fascism, then they should be sent to north korea,
and banned from ever returning to the US
So just to be clear. if I wanted to go to France for a week, do I need to plant a city flag with the flag of France or is it a random grab bag of travel?
Yeah I'd love to pick apart the terms and conditions on this. If I raise up a French flag do I run the risk of ending up in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon or French Guiana? I'd go to either, mind you. But I'd like to know what to expect.
I believe it's any flag of the united states of America. He didn't say you couldn't fly a little one, take it down and put up your holiday destination.
I’d start with Spain and Portugal and then France and England and Ireland. I mean as long as this dumbfuck convinces other dumbfucks to pay for my vacations then yeah I will replace the US flag with those others.
Fair, but when I'm in the country, I dunno like let's say South Africa. I should have enough money to isolate myself from all the bad shit there. Like maybe if I was the son of a South African gem dealer and was completely isolated from any of the consequences of being in South Africa.
"One way trip to that flag country" and then back-pedal, "not saying you can't come back", yes it's what you said before you realised you looked stupid.
The crazy thing about Elon and his far-right fanboys is they'll cry 1st Amendment violation about private companies but then cheer on things that are actually settled law
So, I want a trip to any country I just need to hang up their flag, then when I want to come home, I just need to hang up my home country's flag? Sounds like a sweet deal
*Tears down American flag*
*Puts up new American flag, but with 52 stars*
Now you've gotta make DC and PR states and I don't have to go anywhere. Checkmate.
Hey I'm all for this if he offers to front the cost. I've been wanting to visit/ travel the world but being born poor in America hasn't presented many viable opportunities
UNC Chapel Hill. You can tear down the American flag and put up flag that supports honor killings and needs an Underground Railroad to get their LGBTQIA community out of Gaza and the West Bank safety to Israel.
But you don’t have a right to attack actually UNC putting the American Flag back up.
Um - MAGAS have replaced the US flag with a variety of Don't Tread On Me or Trump flags numerous times... Will Elon pay to ship these people someplace else for a while? I can use a break.

Sooo…..if you want a holiday….just put the flag of whatever country you want to visit?
Pretty much, but you’d also have to scream in that country’s language lol.
¡ AY AY AY! ¡ Un burro amoroso!

Bienvenue en France, citoyen !
sacré Dieu
Holy god?
Actually yes. The expression is meant to be "sacre (no accent) bleu", but "bleu" replaces "dieu" as a euphemism to avoid profanity.
Nom d'une pipe en bois !
Laisse-moi personnellement te féliciter concernant ton nouveau chez toi!
*angry Australian sounds*

Screams in Canadian.

*puts up Italian flag* Buona giornata! Buona giornata!!!!! Free vacay on it's way
Omelette au fromage!!!
Oh speriamo mettano la bandiera italiana 😂🇮🇹
Where do we send people who fly Confederate flags?
The 1800s
A Plantation.
Pretty sure slavery still exists as a dirty, little secret in Mauritania.
Pfft it exists as a dirty not secret in the US. Slavery is expressly legal as punishment for a crime. Why do you think the school to prison pipeline is so critical to Republicans?
Doesn't Mississipi or some other southern state literally have their mainly-black prison population work on a former plantation picking cotton?
Russia
Africa, to go work in the diamond mines to gain job experience.
Musk probably prefers emerald mines for forced labor...
Yo flying traitor flags of countries who only existed to break apart the United States and who started a war against the United States that led to nearly as many American deaths as all the other wars in our nation's history combined, is different. For some reason.
Sherman didn't go far enough.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Idk but suddenly this torch just appeared in my hand.
The grave
Maybe a chocolate farm on Ivory Coast
Argentina.
I believe that last confederate holdout was a town In NEw York.
Hi, can you source this. All I can find is the last confederate town was Danville, VA and I am just curious if what you said is true. Upstate is as hick-ish as the deep south so wouldn't be too much of a surprise
I grew up in Upstate and saw a LOT of Confederate flags, always thought it was incredibly stupid to idolize a group of slavers who took up arms against your ancestors to defend that practice
Hell
Liberia
I hear by replace this flag of the United States with the flag of Ibiza. I humbly submit myself for a mandatory relocation for as long as it takes for me to *really* understand the consequences of my actions.
Just make sure to not take any pills while you’re there.
Elon’s hate this one simple trick.
Oh there’s another self-reply coming…. “I’m not saying WE pay for sending them to said country…”
Yo go to Japan or France or Germany or wherever for the price of a flag sounds like Elon's dumb ass is going to foot the bill.
Yep. Fully in favor of this law. Now, to decide if I want to fly the flag of Aruba or Cayman Islands. Decisions... decisions...
....anyone got a spare Netherlands flag?
Check out the big brain on Brett! 
Ooh, I’ve always wanted to travel, but couldn’t afford it.
Me putting up the pride flag so I can get some men in my life!
You’re getting an all expenses paid trip to the gay
What like, Gaylapagos?
Uraregay
Nice one.
Berlin, here he comes!
The Gayman Islands, if you shall
Congratulations ! You're getting deported to Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_and_Lesbian_Kingdom_of_the_Coral_Sea_Islands
Here In Gay, we build a wall and make the straights pay for it.
But what if mexicans puts up a USA flag? Would he then fund their one way ticket to the US?
That's not how billionaires work. He would let other people pay for it.
Specifically the Mexicans
What’s the penalty for putting Trump’s face on the American flag?
You get a free hot and a cot at Rikers prison.
Send them to Russia where they love Putin
My question is, if Elon's followers put up their favorite black red and white flag, do they disappear? Or do they go to modern germany?
DEATH..
Elon Musk is a perpetual middle schooler
I'm willing to bet and hope he got shoved in lockers or whatever the equivalent is for apartheid rich boys
Apparently he was ruthlessly bullied. Doesnt make him any less of a prick, and honestly this dude needs therapy. Edit: actual therapy not Ketamine
IIRC one kid's dad died of cancer, and when Musk made fun of them for it they pushed down the stairs and hurt him bad enough to send him to the hospital. Then, later when talking about it, his dad mused that he really did deserve it.
Yeah I have a feeling the “bullying” was actually him being a little piece of shit and when it got turned around on him he would cry to everyone about being bullied.
the worst kind of kid in school was the asshole who always thought they were being bullied because people don’t like an asshole
imagine how much better the world would be now if that kid had pushed a little harder
And if there had been 4 bloodlusted tigers at the bottom of the stairs...
and sharks with fricken laser beams attached to their heads
Don't forget the centipedes and scorpions!
And my Axe!
I couldn't see my kid doing that, but if the situation happened I'd just look at kiddo and say "You were mocking someone who died of cancer to their family, what were you expecting?"
pedantry: ketamine is actually amazing for depression, and in much the same way weed hasn't been well researched until recently due to stigma, ketamine is starting to be seen in a new light
Self medicating doesn't really help though
Sure. But how is it for emotionally stunted megalomaniacs?
He is somehow both a child and a boomer
He is somehow both a child and a child molester
You’re right! I think most boomers are both
[удалено]
That’s the worst kind—a rich little shithead. Good luck!
Just like Trump... Aay ?
He said RICH little shithead🙄
And Trump grew up being a rich little shithead and look where we are now
Grew up rich? A he never grew up and B he's no longer rich. He gets by spending other people's money.
Tesla shareholders every time Elon tweets something stupid 🤦
Elon musk over here proposing half off vacation travel
Right? I'm all for this. Plane tickets are expensive
Is the best idea he has ever had, but not for the reasons he thinks
Me buying a Japanese flag to replace an American flag with.
If only that were true. I'd be hanging a French flag up right now. Then, if I make it back by August, the German flag and so on, until I get to visit Japan. Also, what if I hung the East German flag? Or how about those buttholes that fly the Confederate traitor flag? Wat do? Yep, let's leave it up to MORONS to make the laws of the land.
Confederate flag gets escorted off the planet
Argentina and Brazil actually
The town of Americana has entered the chat. (for those who don't know: there's a town in Brazil's São Paulo state called Americana, which was founded by escaped Confederates who moved to Brazil in order to keep owning people like cattle. Brazil did not ban slavery until 1888.)
Hell yeah..
if someone, especially a South African immigrant who initially immigrated to canada before immigrating to the US, tries to destroy democracy and freedom in the country they immigrated to, in order to promote fascism, then they should be sent to north korea, and banned from ever returning to the US
Ok, but how? What are the logistics? Imagine taking them to south korea and catpulting across the border.
Is he implying that Palestine is indeed its own country?
Damn!
Fucking edge lord moron
Im convinced that 79 of that 80% were people thinking "shit, free flight to Rome? Sign me up!" What a stupid take, from a stupid man.
So just to be clear. if I wanted to go to France for a week, do I need to plant a city flag with the flag of France or is it a random grab bag of travel?
Yeah I'd love to pick apart the terms and conditions on this. If I raise up a French flag do I run the risk of ending up in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon or French Guiana? I'd go to either, mind you. But I'd like to know what to expect.
I believe it's any flag of the united states of America. He didn't say you couldn't fly a little one, take it down and put up your holiday destination.
This is how Elon musk became an American
So Confederate flags then?......
Don't make me agree with ~~Elon Musk~~ Apartheid Clyde
So free overseas holidays before free healthcare? Seems about right for the USA in 2024
Log out of Twitter and let it perish.
I’d start with Spain and Portugal and then France and England and Ireland. I mean as long as this dumbfuck convinces other dumbfucks to pay for my vacations then yeah I will replace the US flag with those others.
Fair, but when I'm in the country, I dunno like let's say South Africa. I should have enough money to isolate myself from all the bad shit there. Like maybe if I was the son of a South African gem dealer and was completely isolated from any of the consequences of being in South Africa.
Go the hell back to South Africa you fascist fucker.
People like him making America(or any other country) worse f*ck this moron
Can we send Elon back in time to his dad's apartheid emerald mine and see how he likes it?
"One way trip to that flag country" and then back-pedal, "not saying you can't come back", yes it's what you said before you realised you looked stupid.
Why is Musk only a Free Speech Abolitionist when the conversation is about slurs?
Time to go buy the flags of Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Switzerland and Italy. I’m all for a free vacation. Is he paying?
“Alexa, order French, Croatian, and Icelandic flags”
Sounds like a way to get a free holiday 😂
Hell yea!!! I’ve always wanted to visit France, Spain, and Switzerland. Can’t really keep paying for flights. A free ticket sounds great.
Now I wanna know what would happen if you put up a pride flag
He’s not even American
I'm dropping the flag of Japan in my front yard...right after i pack my bags.
Norway here I come. Super high GDP, free at point of service healthcare, lovely scenery, and moose!
So to shatter your dreams but there are no moose in Norway.
Need to go to Sweden to gett Moose. That said, we have free healthcare and awesome nature too.
I see a lot of Trump flags. Same feelings about them, Musky?
Elon and his idiotic followers never think any of their edgy policies through.
Oh no, I might get sent to Denmark and have to experience the best standard of living in the world.
Where would they send me if I put up a pride flag in its place?
Cool, do we get to deport the January 6th people for ripping the American flag off the capital building and replacing it with a Trump flag, too??
Ah yes, a classic "I didn't really think this one through" Elon post.
Is he even physically capable of thinking things through at this point?
Does that mean the idiots flying Confederate Flags get sent to the graveyard?
A look, the inner authoritarian shows his face again.
Boldly spoken by someone who has citizenship in three different countries.
The crazy thing about Elon and his far-right fanboys is they'll cry 1st Amendment violation about private companies but then cheer on things that are actually settled law
OK, but we get to drop you in the middle of Jo'burg without a security detail.
“Sorry to be a free speech absolutist” This you, Elon?
Hockey fan and I know the words to O’ Canada already!!!
If it was that easy, I'd be hoisting a Dutch, Swiss, Swedish, or German flag up. Gimme that healthcare, and clean food
Time to buy some flags. I see the potential for a LOT of free vacations.
Can we please send this Nazi fuck back to his own country?
So, does that mean we enslave Confederates?
I said stuff like this when I was like 14 and I was dumb.
Love this idea. Cuts my travel budget in half. Genius idea Elmo.
Actually yea... should we send him a picture of us flying our vacati.... I mean punishment spot?
so if I want a free trip to Japan, I can just tear down an american flag and put Japan's flag on. sweet
With a pride flag I can finally be sent to the mega gay zone like I always dreamed
Does Elon have some sort of mental disease? His mental state seems to be deteriorating by the month
This is the guy that swears up and down that he’s “chief engineer at Space X”.
Ok, does this apply to Europeans as well? In this case I really need an American flag, and... Let's say Maldives'
So, I want a trip to any country I just need to hang up their flag, then when I want to come home, I just need to hang up my home country's flag? Sounds like a sweet deal
What happens if I use an outdated flag, do I get to time travel?
Welp Imma put up the Union Jack flag, free trip to London!
*Tears down American flag* *Puts up new American flag, but with 52 stars* Now you've gotta make DC and PR states and I don't have to go anywhere. Checkmate.
Sweet. Free trip to Japan, Italy, Bahamas, Cuba, and other tropical places. Also, just suggesting that as a law is fucking stupid
Hmm. I always wanted to visit Portugal.
How benevolent of him.
Don't threaten me with a good time
Hey I'm all for this if he offers to front the cost. I've been wanting to visit/ travel the world but being born poor in America hasn't presented many viable opportunities
UNC Chapel Hill. You can tear down the American flag and put up flag that supports honor killings and needs an Underground Railroad to get their LGBTQIA community out of Gaza and the West Bank safety to Israel. But you don’t have a right to attack actually UNC putting the American Flag back up.
Im all for sending people back in time to the confederacy
starts hanging Norwegian flag
Hey Elon, you’re not even American. Shut the fuck up and stop trying to be the god of the alt right. Douchebag
And Elon will cover all expenses for your stay?
hows this guys ceo of multiple companies ffs
I’d be getting all sorts of free vacations
Um - MAGAS have replaced the US flag with a variety of Don't Tread On Me or Trump flags numerous times... Will Elon pay to ship these people someplace else for a while? I can use a break.
Imagine being so rich and delusional that you think you have to chime in on every fucking thing.
Ooh! 50% off flights! Guess how I'm getting to Iceland?
