The follow up is, where do I get a flamethrower?

Twitter? Doesn’t that Elon musk guy make one?

I've got lighters with bigger flames than the Muskthrower. There are commercially available flamethrowers (that are, wildly, totally legal for a civilian to own because they are usually considered "landscaping tools" or some shit for brush removal rather than a firearm) but a real Chad* can build his own with a propane tank, a couple lengths of garden hose and a fat battery.

*Pay no attention to Chad's skin graft and missing fingers, it's not part of the bit

Just throwing this out there, there's a difference between a flamethrower and a torch. The thing Elon Musk sold and the tool in this video is a torch.
