The product was launched on Wednesday, and it has already caused a stir on Twitter. Read along to know more.
Burnt Hair?
Elon Musk never fails to get those remaining two brain cells in peoples’ heads running. Whether it be his warped decision to buy Twitter or launch a fragrance line, the man always stands out. Elon Musk launched his new product on Wednesday, and it is sold through The Boring Company, which deals with Musk’s infrastructure and tunnel construction services.
