In case you missed this story (which isn’t exactly “political” in nature), billionaire inventor and SpaceX founder Elon Musk was selling some hats online. He made a joke on Twitter at one point saying that if they managed to sell fifty thousand of them he would have one of his other corporations, the Boring Company, sell 20,000 flamethrowers which they had recently developed. As you might have guessed, the hats sold out and, good to his word, Musk offered up the flamethrowers for $500 each, even though they apparently weren’t actually in production yet, so you’d have to pre-order them and wait.

To answer the previous question… yes. Not only did people order them, but they sold out the entire offer in less than five days. That’s right… Elon Musk sold $10M worth of flamethrowers which didn’t even exist yet in roughly 100 hours. But now he may be facing some problems in making good on the deal. Some fire experts (remind me later to find out how one becomes a “fire expert”) are claiming that this is not a fit product to be offering to the general public. In fact, the crazy people who buy these items might wind up starting a, um… fire. (Ya think?) This is particularly a concern in California. (CBS Los Angeles)
