To address your question: Tking down the American flag on your own flagpole and replacing it is speech. Taking down the flag the belongs to someone else and forcibly replacing it is crime.
To burn an American flag as free speech, you first have to buy one.

Works for me.
They’re free to put it up.
There are just consequences if they do.

Laws can be changed.
If a person tears down an advertising sign - or a stop sign or someone’s mail box they can be charged with a crime.
Elon’s not saying these people can’t put up a flag on their own property - that’s speech. Tearing down someone else’s flag is vandalism. That’s the crime.
He’s saying ‘IF YOU tear down an American flag and put a different one up...’ Come on, wouldn’t you just love to see these liberals meeting with a member of Hamas? Elon’s probably kidding anyhow it would cost too much

Yeah, right, OK.
Now, WHO IS WORKING AT GOOGLE?
The same "DEATH TO AMERICA" terrorists who support HAMAS - who, chanted "DEATH TO AMERICA" on September 11, 2001.

It’s not a very “inclusive” policy. It’s like any club where if you don’t agree with the rules, you can go somewhere else. As long as the rules don’t change from day to day, which they should not since they’re written in plain English.
To: RandFan
Tearing down a flag that belongs to someone else is not protected.
If it is your flag, sure. Buy a flag and trash it. You might incur the wrath of someone who loves what that flag represents, but hey, it’s your flag.
As for foreign citizens who desacrate our flag, regardless of who owns it, that should be instant deportation. All of the foreign students involved in these campus crimes should be sent home.

I think that is a great idea.
The right to say anything does not automatically include the right to do it.
As for where the rainbow flag nation is, San Francisco obviously.
