Boring Company Flamethrower - how to buy

Are you looking for the boring company flamethrower review? Elon Musk’s tunnel-digging venture has started shipping flamethrower-like devices to the general public, and they’re already hitting eBay for thousands of dollars. The first 1,000 “not-a-flamethrower”s were handed over to customers at the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California on Saturday.

The product is the latest for Musk’s company, which is currently working on ways to make tunnel digging more efficient. Borne out of frustration with Los Angeles traffic back in December 2016, Musk’s company started selling Boring branded hats as work got underway on a test tunnel at the SpaceX headquarters. After selling 20,000 hats and raising $1 million, Musk moved onto flamethrowers. He claims he got the idea for the unusual fundraising method from cult ‘80s sci-fi film Spaceballs.

Because the device does not produce a flame larger than 10 feet, it’s technically legal to own without any sort of license. California assemblyman Miguel Santiago, a Democrat representing Los Angeles, introduced bill AB1949 to close this flaw and limit the device’s sale.

Some fans on Reddit noticed a password-protected page on the Boring Company’s website, at boringcompany.com/flamethrower. For a time, the password was “flame,” allowing a select few rumor-hunters to see the page—a product page for a very real-looking gun.

There’s no indication that this isn’t an April Fool’s Day joke, but at least one prototype might exist. A brief video of what appears to be a Boring Company-branded flamethrower showed up on music producer and Space X investor D.A. Wallace’s Instagram, though the post was quickly deleted. Whether or not anyone else will be allowed to shell out $600 for one of their own might be debatable.
