    Musk is really walking that tight rope between genius and super villain.

    What a time to be alive.
    The guy sold $10 million worth of flamethrowers in 48 hrs.
    That's quite brilliant.
    I cant wait for the youtube videos


    Apparently, some customs agencies are saying they won’t allow shipment of anything called a “Flamethrower”. To solve this, we are renaming it “Not a Flamethrower”.
    Or maybe “Temperature Enhancement Device”


    Elon Musk’s fire sale of his Boring Company “flamethrowers” raised $10m, selling out all 20,000 units, despite warnings from the Home Office and US politicians.

    How wild is that? 2 boosters landing side by side, and the third out on a barge in the ocean.
    Not bad for a test launch.

    Did the main core land on the drone ship? Last I read it was still in the ether.

    Was wondering the same thing.
    Watched it live and when the signal was lost from the ship (a normal occurrence) they never went back to talk about it. Thought then is that it failed.

    It looks like it failed!

    So a rocket full of solid rocket fuel exploded into millions of peices in the ocean?

    Is they’re any talk of the environment impact of this? Or are we all just ignoring it because Tesla.

    By no means was I trying to underscore the importance of this accomplishment, he did what NASA can do for 1/11 of the price and in relatively short time. Once he irons this out Elon Musk owns Mars.
