If you don't have $200,000 to shell out for the ludicrously quick Tesla Roadster, maybe Elon Musk's less expensive flamethrower will be more up your alley.

The billionaire tech tycoon promised a fire-spewing weapon from his deceptively-titled The Boring Company—Musk's infrastructure and tunnel construction firm—would arrive following the sellout of much dorkier branded hats in December.

This week, snoopy Redditors were able to get past a password prompt that redirects to the flamethrower's web page by typing "flame." No seriously, the link is still up https://www.boringcompany.com/flamethrower

The password has since been changed, but screengrabs indicate that the fiery $600 gadget is available for preorder *at the time the little 'leak' was found. At the time this article is written, it got lowered to $500. Nice.

$500 proof at the time of writing:

The description is 10/10, definitively having the power to make any moments lit.
