Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 30, 2018 Elon Musk is selling flamethrowers and it's not fake news. it's a funding strategy for his Boring Company. I can't help but wonder what will be next? I very much likeĀ his approach to business, I have to say. Is there anyone else today with such fun ideas about how a business may be funded? It's kind of geniusĀ getting on the twin wagon of Musk-mania and the zombie fad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 30, 2018 Love it. It's almost like he's just taking the piss ... and getting rich doing it. Enjoy the odd optimistic-cynicism. Ordering a flamethrower now ... Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 30, 2018 Maybe new Tesla's will come with a gun rack for flame throwers? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 January 30, 2018 And sales are already $5 million so far. Not bad... not bad...

Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 31, 2018 So this guy wants to ban on Ā Muskās Ā flamethrower. I canāt believe this is actually an issue as itās just a glorified propane torch, meant as a novelty.Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 31, 2018 Well to some people, this is an inhumane dangerous flamethrower. To us others, it is a novelty butane torch. Thatās why marketing matters.Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 31, 2018 Like they have to worry about flamethrowers. Today we could just walk in local store and buy a gun legally but we should be really scared of barbecue nerf guns? Yeah right. Ā Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 31, 2018 They are already restricted in CA and require fire marshall approval to use because of the risk of brush fires, what actually makes sense.Ā Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 31, 2018 The problem is when a politician says something about an issue in such a way that you can tell they are entirely clueless. Like this is a real problem. It would be better not to waste precious legislative time doing nonsense, like this one, to ban a flamethrower. With news like this it sounds more important to do it than to deal with any actual problems.Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
