Elon Musk’s The Boring Company’s decidedly un-boring fire-throwing toy is here, and just in time for wildfire season.

The company started shipping the $500 item out to customers on June 14, and despite its name (“not a flamethrower”) it looks and functions suspiciously like a flamethrower. The product doesn’t have a specific purpose except to be fun (and to throw flames) but firefighters and a wildfire expert claim that potential damages and injuries won’t be fun at all.
