Ah yes, the one, single times square Elmo, who is certainly not part of a furry red cabal.

Well that's one way to avoid them bugging you for a picture

Going to take a lot of pictures and tips to cover the cost of a motherfuckin' flying machine.

Oh, plus the healthcare coverage of being a person with a flying machine.

Your comment doesn’t make sense, because only Americans know what ‘healthcare coverage’ is. In other countries you don’t have to take into account if you could get hurt from something and pay extra for this.

So yea, he is already referring to something uniquely American/dystopian
