The Boring Company Fire Extinguisher
FIRE EXTINGUISHER SALES COMPLETE
Buy an overpriced Boring Company fire extinguisher! You can definitely buy one for less elsewhere, but this one comes with a cool sticker and the button is conveniently riiiight above.

I love it. Is it a Bunsen burner, a propane torch or a flamethrower? I extremely do not care. It is a surprisingly heavy gun-like device that shoots flames. It’s definitely less dangerous than a can of hairspray and a match, or less dangerous to the person shooting flame anyway. And it feels like a cohesive product, no matter how it was actually designed. This might explain why people are so fervent about Musk: he took a joke and made a real, fun thing.

The Bottom Line
The Boring Company's Not-A-Flamethrower is an overpriced joke product by Elon Musk, but there's no denying it's a cool toy to play around with.

lon 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.

How Does It Work
The device acts similar to a giant bunsen burner. A propane tank of around 14 ounces connects to the rest of the device. Users open the valve of the tank, flick the ignition switch to light the pilot flame, then pull the trigger to send the flames flying.

How to Buy The Boring Company’s Not-a-Flamethrower
The Boring Company has sold out of “not-a-flamethrowers.” The initial batch was limited to just 20,000, raising around $10 million for the firm.

While Musk initially proposed an asking price of $500 for the contraption, eBay sellers have already scooped up the first batches and placed them online at extortionate prices. “Buy it now” prices range from around $2,000 to a staggering $20,000. One eBayer was selling the optional $35 fire extinguisher with a price of $295, while another eBayer was selling the included instruction manual for $250.

It’s unlikely that The Boring Company will produce any more of the devices, and it may be hard to find someone willing to send the device through the mail. The best bet is looking through second hand listing sites like Craigslist and eBay, although it will likely involve paying top dollar.
