Title: Elon Musk's Boring Company is now selling flamethrowers
Post by: sprite75 on January 28, 2018, 07:09:38 PM
Tesla the t-shirt.  Tesla the lunch box!  Tesla the (http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/28/news/musk-boring-company-flamethrowers/index.html) Flame Thrower! (The kids love that one)....

QuoteMusk's The Boring Company, which wants to create a network of underground tunnels to ease traffic congestion, is offering flamethrowers for sale on its website for a cool $500.

Musk said on Twitter early Sunday morning that 2,000 flamethrowers have already been pre-ordered. It's advertised as "guaranteed to liven up any party."

Unsurprisingly, the internet has gone nuts.

The company said it plans to cap sales at 20,000 units, but declined to comment further.

Not an original observation mind...but I cant be the only person out there who thinks selling  $500 flamethrower on the internet is a really bad idea...

I saw them demonstrate one on the news yesterday, and it only shoots flame a couple of feet.
More like a glorified blowtorch, really.
