I thought Elon Musk was all for free speech... I'm sad to say desecrating a flag is part of that.

That's not was Elon said. He said if someone tears down the American flag and puts up another flag in its place. It's assumed - by anyone with an IQ over 50 - that he means tearing down someone else's flag (there's no problem with tearing down your own flag and replacing it with another).

“I thought Elon Musk was all for free speech... I’m sad to say desecrating a flag is part of that.”

The Supreme Court ruled that desecrating the American flag was free speech around 1988. Up until then, it was a crime.

So you are stupid enough to just follow along like the mindless sheep/idiot you are.

Musk did not say desecrating the American flag, as in a protest or for any other reason.

He's saying those who take down the American flag to favor flying another in it's place and on American soil, should get a free trip to Palestine or some other country for an adequate period of time for them to experience first hand what they say they want.

I can certainly agree with that.

A lot of them will be well to do students getting a free ride through life or those who threaten to leave but never do.

Tearing down the USA flag, replacing with another country’s flag and calling for our country’s demise is an a act of violence, is a sign of a desire to conquer and an act of war. Elon is right.

Do you understand that both flags you mentioned do not belong to other countries?

Replace the American flag with a Palestinian flag—go to Palestine. Replace American flag with Mexican flag—go to Mexico.

Furthermore, you have polluted your entire thread with your choice of the word desecrate. Your word, not Musk's.

If you're going to castigate someone, at least base your F'ing argument on substantive text rather than choosing inflamatory terms.

NO

Desecrating a flag isn’t free speech it’s an action of destruction.

HELL NO!

Taking down the American flag and putting up one, especially one that represents people who want to MURDER us, is NOT "free speech"!

Isn’t it?”

You’re obtuse.

I’m not saying this to be insulting, you seem not to understand rhetoric.
