Will the new Elon Musk flamethrower be able to put an end to a possible zombie apocalypse?

His company "The Boring Company" has launched 20,000 weapons of this type for sale for 400 dollars and have already sold more than 7,000.

Can Elon Musk's new flamethrower end a possible zombie apocalypse?
Elon Musk seems to be in the soup lately. Not only is he the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, but he's also behind The Boring Company, a newly created company that launched a $400 flame thrower this weekend. It is hoped that 20,000 weapons like this will be created and more than 7,000 people have already made a pre-order.

These artifacts are expected to be shipped to customers beginning in the spring, so many people believe this is a joke that will be revealed at April's fools day, the American version of April's April Day. Although at the moment, he has more votes to become real. In fact, it was Elon Musk himself who showed in an Instagram video how he really exists and is not just an advertising photo.

On Twitter, he has called attention by saying that if in the future there is a zombie apocalypse, you will wish you had bought one of these flame throwers. He even advises that if he doesn't end up with hordes of walkers, he will return the money to the customers.

The carefree, humorous tone of the videos is what's really getting people mad at the people who don't know how much credibility to give to the project. The reality behind this initiative began with the goal of raising money for The Boring Company's main project: to create an underground tunnel network so that high-speed electric cars can be driven in the depths of the Earth, thus helping to relieve traffic congestion on the street. They started selling caps for $16 and Musk promised that if they made it to 50,000, the next thing would be a flamethrower. Said and done, this past December had already achieved the challenge, so it didn't take them a month to release the gun for sale, which promises guaranteed fun to animate a party or to roast peanuts (you decide).

They assure all interested parties that a document will be sent to them which they must read and sign with the conditions of use of the flame thrower and which they hope will not be used to burn ammunition stores for weapons or decorative hay bales of the company. We will be watching what happens with this weapon and whether it is a mere advertising campaign.

By the way, in case you burn something... they also have a fire extinguisher kit that sells for 24 dollars (all a bargain).
