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.”
