Elon Musk’s Boring Company got its $500 flamethrowers into the hands of consumers for the first time on Saturday.
The company sold 20,000 of the machines, but the first thousand were distributed at an event at The Boring Company’s headquarters in Los Angeles. People formed long lines to get hold of their very own flamethrower.

Flamethrower obv best way to light your fireplace/BBQ. No more need to use a dainty “match” to ignite! If no wood, just drop your flamethrower in fire place! It will generate way more warmth than a quaint pile of logs.

Almost forgot! Due to recent regulatory/customs rules enacted to inhibit transport of anything called a Flamethrower, we have renamed our product: “Not a Flamethrower”.
