Hot stuff
Although everyone believed he was joking, it seems that Elon Musk's claim to start selling flamethrowers once 50,000 Boring Company branded hats were sold, was true. A page was discovered within The Boring Company website with a listing for a seemingly real flamethrower, priced at $600.
Musk started selling hats to promote his company, which is currently digging transport tunnels below Los Angeles, months ago, and on Christmas Eve last year he tweeted: "Hats sold out, flamethrowers soon". And, after some Redditors discovered the shop page with the image of a modified Airsoft gun which seems equipped to shoot fire (which has since been password protected), it was confirmed that Musk wasn't pulling our legs.

If this really is true, and we will all be able to buy a $600 Boring Company flamethrower, Elon Musk has to be the greatest human being ever. We mean, come on... who follows through on apparent jokes like that? We fucking love the guy. No one else in history has been bee able to blend both big issue concerns like the environment and space colonisation, with downright silly cool stuff like flamethrowers. The man is a total legend.
All. Hail. Musk.
