Back in December, Elon Musk tweeted that if his new startup called the Boring Company sold 50,000 hats, it would then start selling flamethrowers.

Seriously, he tweeted that. Later in the month, he tweeted again, “Hats sold out, flamethrowers soon!”

According to TeslaRati, the flamethrower already exists, and it’s fully functional:

The Boring Co. flamethrower recently made a quiet debut on social media, after writer-musician D.A. Wallach posted a brief clip of himself holding and operating the fiery device while he toured the tunnels being dug by the Elon Musk-led firm.

 

During the short clip, Wallach could be seen playfully talking to the camera while demonstrating the fiery capabilities of The Boring Co. flamethrower. As noted by an Instagram commenter on Wallach’s post, the device itself appears to be a modified CSI S.T.A.R. XR-5 Airsoft Rifle. Instead of firing rounds of BBs, however, The Boring Co. flamethrower fires a stream of red-hot flame.
