— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 1, 2018 The Boring Company flamethrower is the second piece of merchandise to be sold by the company, following on from "the world's most boring hat," which also sold out within a matter of days. Listings for the $20 hat have also appeared on Ebay, with some reaching as high as $2,499.99. The success of the hat and the flamethrower, which some people have pointed out is most likely a modified roofing torch, means there is likely to be more merchandise planned by Musk.
