It looks like the world’s most exciting entrepreneur is so strapped for cash that he’s reduced to hawking novelties on Instagram.
After the success of his $20 Boring Company baseball caps, Elon Musk has made good on his promise to sell flamethrowers to the masses.
The 500-dollar lame-throwers aren’t exactly military grade, but that hasn’t stopped problems getting them shipped, with Musk rebranding them as “Temperature Enhancement Devices”.
Needless to say, the hype ensured that all 20,000 got sold within days, with many now fetching several times their retail price on eBay.
We have to ask: Is this the best you can do, Elon? With SpaceX’s earnings shrouded in mystery, and Tesla losing $16 million every day, the answer might sadly be “yes.”
