And now, a flame thrower.

The Boring Company headquarters are in Hawthorn, California.  Not that it's going to come as a shock to many here but guess which is the only state that outright bans flame throwers?

Not trying to start anything, but how do they define a flame thrower? I mean technically a lighter could be considered a flame thrower.

Further proof of Elon Musk's innate ability to talk people out of their money.

It's a fence row/brush burner in a chassis.

Screw it, I'm building one.

TGO flamethrower competition.

I mentioned to a friend that we should go in 50/50 on one of these. He spent the next 30 minutes trying to convince me that we actually needed to do it. I was just joking. He's a big Elon Musk fan himself and keeps up with basically everything that SpaceX is doing.

He sent me a screenshot two days ago of his order. I guess he either found someone to split it with him or he decided he had the money himself. To me, I would have just bought a Glock. Easier to conceal and further range.

With that being said, only 20,000 were made and sold. So, it could be a collector's item worth more someday depending on Musk's success and following.
