Boring Company's 'flamethrower:' How Elon Musk's gadget became a collector's item

• The Boring Company started selling flamethrowers in 2018 – and sold out in just days.
• It sold 20,000 of the $500 "Not-A-Flamethrower" machines, which it said would "liven up any party."
• It's been featured in a Travis Scott music video and been used to light cigarettes.

Elon Musk's Boring Company sold 20,000 flamethrowers in just the space of five days back in 2018.

Though it's been off the market for years, the company's "Not-A-Flamethrower" has acquired something of a cult status among the tech mogul's fans and some people have been paying hundreds of dollars to snap them up on eBay.
