Yup, it's real.

Elon Musk's Boring Co. flamethrower is real, $500 and up for pre-order

So that flamethrower that Elon Musk teased The Boring Company would start selling after it ran out of its 50,000 hats? Yeah, it's real – and you can pre-order one now if you want need a ridiculous way to spend $500.

Musk revealed the flamethrower on Saturday, after some digging tipped its existence late last week. The Boring Company Flamethrower is functional, too, as you can see from this Instagram featuring some Boring Co. staff, presumably well safety trained, firing off two of the things IRL.

Maybe it's just me but I don't get it. Is it a parody or something? Running out of hats? What?

Flamethrowers seem like a good idea when you are 12 but then you learn fire goes both ways.

I think I echo the experience of many a lad who thought it would be a good idea to kill a beehive with a super soaker topped off with gasoline at some point or another.

What could possibly go wrong?

What the hell is that guy wearing in the video?!??

Enough said with just looking at those pants. Flame thrower matches perfectly.

Someone is going to buy one, break it out of the plastic and mount it under a rifle and play Aliens. You wanna bet?

Um....the Incenerators were stand alone except when Ripley Duct Taped one to the Pulse Rifle.

....and part of me sorta wants to see it.
I would not do it, God no.

But I would spectate from minimum safe distance
