The Boring Company’s other 'not-so-boring' ventures

Elon Musk is no stranger to launching products based on jokes. His massive fan base believes in his bizarre projects as well. The Boring Company raised $10 million for tunnel-building tests in 2018 by selling a limited run of 20,000 flamethrowers at $500 each.

Musk also scared Tesla investors in 2020 when he introduced Tesla Tequila on April Fools' Day. Previously, Musk sold a pair of $69.420 short shorts to celebrate short-sellers and celebrate victory over those investors who bet against his electric-vehicle company, which is now the most valuable organization in the world.

Musk claimed that the strained relationship with his daughter “may change” in the future. The entrepreneur went on to emphasise his positive relationship with his other children. He stated that he has a "very good" relationship with his other children, but that he "can't win them all."
