Okay, so when I read this, I knew what today's Dose of AWESOME was going to be. Really, is there anything more awesome than a flamethrower?
Elon Musk has several different companies. Probably the most famous is Tesla - the maker of all electric vehicles (most recently a semi truck). However, his company, Boring, which is trying to make travel a bit more convenient by building a series of underground tunnels, has also decided to build these flamethrowers.
And, no, this does not seem to be some sort of joke. Apparently, it has already made $5,000,000 selling these flamethrowers at $500 a pop. What do you need a flamethrower for? I have no idea. But it certainly looks AWESOME.
