Elon Musk Now Selling Flamethrowers (and Fire Extinguishers)

Last time we checked on Elon Musk, he was selling $10 hats to fund his Boring Company tunneling venture. Now, for reasons that are unclear, he’s selling a $500 flamethrower:

It’s not clear if it actually shoots a jet of flame, like one uses to burn enemy troops out of a pillbox, or if it’s just a propane torch with a submachine gun form factor. Since the product copy states “World’s safest flamethrower!” we’re guessing it’s the latter.

On the same webpage where one can pre-order the flamethrower (which starts shipping this spring), there is an option to add a $30 fire extinguisher, described with the following copy:

Buy an overpriced Boring Company fire extinguisher! You can definitely buy one for less elsewhere, but this one comes with a cool sticker and the button is conveniently riiight above.

Say what you want about the man, but he’s definitely thinking outside the box.
