Elon Musk Drops First $200 Million in $2 Billion Chain of Endorsements and Says ‘Don’t Want to See That Flag at America’
In a move that surprised no one but still left jaws on the floor, Elon Musk has kicked off his latest endorsement spree with a cool $200 million. The first chunk of his promised $2 billion investment has set the internet ablaze—not for its potential impact, but for the sheer eccentricity Musk brought to the announcement.
While standing in front of a rocket-shaped podium at SpaceX, the billionaire quipped, “I don’t want to see that flag at America,” leaving reporters scratching their heads. Was he referring to the American flag? Another country’s flag? A hypothetical intergalactic flag? Nobody knows—probably not even Musk himself.
The endorsements, which span industries from AI-powered vacuum cleaners to “flame-retardant cat furniture,” reflect Musk’s eclectic interests. One source close to Musk suggested, “He’s really passionate about anything that sounds futuristic, ridiculous, or both. This could involve a company that sells glow-in-the-dark pasta or AI that writes poems about Tesla trucks.”
Critics have questioned the financial prudence of such a whimsical venture. But Musk remains unfazed. “Endorsements are like my tweets,” he declared. “Chaotic, controversial, and sometimes completely unnecessary. But people love them.”
As for the mysterious “flag” comment? Twitter (now X, as Musk tirelessly reminds everyone) has been in a frenzy trying to decode its meaning. Speculations range from geopolitical critiques to Musk trolling flag enthusiasts. One user aptly summarized the sentiment: “Elon doesn’t make sense, but he makes news—and that’s all that matters.”
Stay tuned for the next $1.8 billion. Or, as Musk might say, “Just wait until I endorse my own idea of a flagless world. You’ll see.”
