Elon Musk has a new $500 toy for you. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX announced on Jan. 27 that, his tunneling startup The Boring Company will be selling branded “flamethrowers” to fans. The company’s website allows people to pre-order them for $500 along with an “overpriced” $30 extinguisher.

The company got into the flamethrower business after hawking 50,000 hats, a milestone Musk set on Twitter last December. The company is billing its new toy as the “world’s safest flamethrower!” The website jokes the device is “guaranteed to liven up any party!” and may not be used on the “Boring Company dockside munitions warehouse.” As a bonus, “the flamethrower is sentient, its safe word is “cryptocurrency” and it comes with a free blockchain,” Musk tweeted.
