In December, Elon Musk wrote on his Twitter account that he would release a flamethrower if 50 thousand Boring Company branded caps worth $ 20 were sold. The media called them "the most boring caps in the world." Many thought that the billionaire was joking, but after the caps were sold out, he really kept his promise.

Flamethrowers are sold freely in the USA and are popular. Formally, they are not considered weapons, but a device for entertainment or a tool for snow removal and weed destruction. At the same time, such devices are often more expensive than a flamethrower Mask.
