Elon Musk now sells flamethrowers that sells like hotcakes

Maybe we know Elon Musk being the pioneering visionary and genius behind some multi-billion dollar companies – Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and Paypal.

But seriously, that’s not all for this great guy. He has another wacky company named “The Boring Company” – and no, not the “Boring” you’ve might thought of, but ‘boring’, as if for digging, because it was also reported that the said company is making a tunnel to be able to let Musk beat the painstaking traffic and connect cities through an underground tunnel.

That company also was behind the sale of 50,000 “Boring Company” caps which at first, we’ve all thought as a joke. And as Elon Musk promised when that amount was reached, a flamethrower will be the next.

Despite his being the eccentric, no one thought he was being serious about it.

The Boring Company sells one flamethrower for $500 (plus tax), and Elon Musk has been tweeting milestones as they’ve hit.

1,000 ordered already, only 19,000 left!

The man behind The Boring Company has sold 1,000 units in the first three hours between the night of January 27th and the early hours of the 28th, according to his tweets. He sold another 2,000 during the following day, with that number reaching 7,000 early next morning.

Obviously, a flamethrower is a super terrible idea. Definitely don’t buy one.

He is selling a total of 20,000 flamethrowers, and has been playing with them as shown in this video from his Instagram:

He even touted that

But wait, there’s more: the flamethrower is sentient, its safe word is “cryptocurrency” and it comes with a free blockchain

As of this writing, Musk has already sold 17,5k flamethrowers out of his 20,000 initial offering.
