Calif. pol: Elon Musk's flamethrower 'incredibly insensitive'"
Published on January 31, 2018 at 05:06AM by Peter Holley, The Washington Post
Inventor and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk claims he's sold thousands of flamethrowers in recent days, turning a online gag into a marketing ploy worth millions. But a California assemblyman said he plans to introduce legislation to block the distribution of the devices before they end up in customers' hands. In an email to The Washington Post, Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, a Democrat from Los Angeles, said he thought the flamethrower idea was a joke when he first heard about it. Santiago - whose home parish was recently damaged by fire - was surprised anyone would hawk a flamethrower in a state in which devastating fires have recently displaced thousands, causing more than $1 billion in damage.
