Hawthorne, CA, United States (4E) – This time Elon Musk is both certifiably loopy or is poking enjoyable at our unnerving penchant to imagine something (which means we’re suckers).
The founding father of SpaceX and Tesla, Inc is promoting his latest product and it is outlandish — a sculpted flamethrower you are speculated to kill zombies with within the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse. And if this weapon would not work, Musk ensures you will get your a reimbursement – that’s for those who’re nonetheless alive.
Musk is providing this joke (what else to name it?) by way of his tunnel boring firm named The Boring Company. He calls this contraption “the world’s safest flamethrower” and says it is now out there for pre-order at $500 apiece.
Musk tweeted to ensure the effectiveness of the Musk flamethrower towards zombies.
“When the zombie apocalypse happens, you’ll be glad you bought a flamethrower. Works against hordes of the undead or your money back!” tweeted Musk.
Musk’s infrastructure and tunneling firm is providing 20,000 flamethrowers for a $500 a pop. The flamethrower additionally comes with an non-compulsory a hearth extinguisher (in case you flamethrower your home) offered individually for $30.
People that purchase The Boring Company flamethrowers aren’t required to endure govenrment background checks. Flamethrowers aren’t regulated by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Musk denies he is fueling a Zombie Apocalypse paranoia, and tweeted “The rumor that I’m secretly creating a zombie apocalypse to generate demand for flamethrowers is completely false. You’d need millions of zombies for a so-called ‘apocalypse’ anyway. Where would I even get a factory big enough to make so many!?”
Musk apparently determined to construct and promote flamethrowers to finance The Boring Company’s costly plan to construct a community of tunnels that may see individuals and vehicles transported on high-speed electrical sleds, thereby serving to to ease visitors congestion at road degree.
To elevate funds for this tunnel boring undertaking, Musk late in 2017 offered a bunch of Boring Company-branded caps at $20 apiece. In December, Musk tweeted that when the hats offered out, “we will start selling The Boring Company flamethrower.”
Why he would not elevate the money as an alternative stays a thriller.
