The Boring Company (Elon Musk) Flamethrower Up For Pre-order

In for one since I'll need something to fight off the mole people Elon is unwittingly unleashing with his boring. Not quite a hot deal, though, as the fire extinguisher is sold separately, but not bad for $500.

This would be good for melting the snow off my driveway....

I have an $80 roofing torch that will blow a flame twice that distance.

That's why this one is Boring.

You know what we need? A Tide Pod Thrower. Screw flames, that's old news. Somebody in a movie or restaurant that won't put down their phone and shut up launch a Tide Pod at 200mph into their gaping maw.

I like the last entry on the small print...

-May not be used on Boring Company decorative lacquered hay bales or Boring Company dockside munitions warehouses

:thumbsup: I laughed.

It's official... Elon Musk is the new Steve Jobs. He can't fart in public without it becoming headline news in the tech press.

He should bottle his farts and sell them as Musk's Musk. In 2 months its IPO would be worth billions.

Not too bad if you want to buy your kid a flamethrower so they can play Aliens.

He's been the new Steve Jobs for a few years already. He has a cult like following. Yet he is always in need of more money which is why you always have to put down a deposit for the new vehicle coming out. Model 3, new Tesla Roadster, Tesla Truck, he uses that money to fund the current projects he can't keep up with.

the name "boring company" reminds me of larry niven's sci-fi general products company

 

[snoopy7548]

So this thing is real. I'm like 90% tempted to buy one and use it whenever my driveway ices over or just to scare the shit out of my neighbors.

 

[Skunk-Works]

Here's a great idea. Dress up like a character from Aliens and use that flamethrower as a prop on Halloween.

Just don't burn the party down in the process.

This would be a pretty bad ass replacement for my Bernzomatic for searing my Sous Vide steaks.

Just make sure you don't have any cats. I feel like a flaming cat running through your house could cause some problems.

Dear Elon,

Your product is non-innovative, underwhelming, and already on the market in a FAR superior way:

Well, that's well over 500 bucks, but at least it has free shipping.

the design looks like a Nerf gun. love it!
but doesnt look like it can shoot that far. gotta be at least 10ft to be effective against zombies

Silly wabbit. You don't kill zombies with fire. You kill them with a shotgun blast to the head. At least that was my preferred way of doing it in Resident Evil 2. Head gone = no more zombie. Game gave me nightmares.

So how do you recharge the propane after you have your 5 minutes of fun playing with the fire? That fuel cartridge looks mighty small to hold much gas.

This would be a pretty bad ass replacement for my Bernzomatic for searing my Sous Vide steaks.

You can buy cheap weed burner for $20 and attach it to 20 lb propane tank. https://www.harborfreight.com/propane-torch-91033.html
Only tech geeks think $500 toy gun is cool because they're clueless about real work.

You're so negative.

Does your weed burner come in Storm Trooper white and black? Didn't think so. Besides, based on what I've seen in my neighborhood, HF doesn't sell weed burners to customers under seventy five years of age.

Amen. All praise be unto the Elon.

I'm just hoping he does an Unreal Tournament-style lightning gun next.

People need a bit more range these days, it's true. Elon's version is more a flame dispenser than a thrower. No shark mouth engraving, and no optional backpack reservoir? That is boring.

Get back to work Musk, quit screwin around!

Eh - I give him credit for trying to innovate places that basically everyone else has ignored.
