When Tesla's boss Elon Musk first announced that he was going to sell a flamethrower, he attracted a lot of attention from the internet realm. Musk, tweeted on Saturday, "Obviously, a flamethrower is a super terrible idea. Definitely, don’t buy one". Despite this "caution" from its maker, however, the weapon attracted great interest and the entire stock was sold out in a very short time. Only 20000 pieces of these flamethrowers were produced and half of the entire stock was sold in just two days while the entire stock is completely sold out in just 100 hours. Each flamethrower had a 500$ price tag, generating 20 million dollars revenue in total.

Founded in late 2016, The Boring Company's task was to reduce the costs of underground tunneling, which Musk is planning to use this research for public transportation. But eventually, Musk also started selling some other stuff via The Boring Company to create more funds for his research projects. For example, he sold 50 thousand pieces of Boring Company hat for 20 dollars a year.

Although the company sold all of the flaming weapons they planned to produce in just 100 hours, according to the latest statement, the firearms will be delivered to their owners on this spring.
