No, we don't know why, but Engadget reports a company owned by Elon Musk is selling a FLAMETHROWER.
The Boring Company (as in digging subway tunnels, not dull) will be the brand name of the personal flamethrower, that can be yours for the low, low price of $500.
Apparently, anything that shoots fire less than 10-feet is legal, in case you're wondering.
Meantime, the Boring Company continues digging its first test tunnel in Los Angeles, with the ultimate goal of having electric skates that will carry cars and "people pods" below ground to bypass the traffic above.
