YouTube personality Casey Neistat took a break from his paternity leave to open and test his new (not a) toy, the Boring Company’s “Not a Flamethrower.”
As you may know, the Boring Company is an Elon Musk entity. Its $500 propane torch (the “flamethrower”) is, as Neistat describes it, Musk’s “$10 million dollar joke.”
He notes that it’s simply a roofing torch encased in a plastic air gun shell topped with a bike water bottle holder (to hold the tank of propane), parts he says you can get on the internet separately for much less. Still, he thinks it’s “hysterical” and gives it a whirl, melting the cover to his microphone.
