It’s like something out of ‘The Purge’ franchise…

Elon Musk has effectively armed thousands of people with flamethrowers… 

The real-life Iron Man’s tunnel boring company announced it was going to be selling Flamethrowers at the beginning of the year. And despite many believing this to be a hoax, the company managed to sell more than 20,000 units in pre-order alone.

Well, the day has finally come. Musk’s flamethrowers are now being shipped around the United States, and that’s despite advice from Elon Musk himself that people jokingly not buy one.

The billionaire entrepreneur took to twitter earlier in the year to announce, “Obviously, a flamethrower is a super terrible idea.” Definitely don’t buy one. Unless you want fun”.

Stay safe out there, America.
