'Elon's Musk': Tesla owner launches 'scent of repugnant desire' Burnt Hair, 10K bottles of perfume sold

Elon Musk tweeted, 'With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable'

AUSTIN, TEXAS: Elon Musk has now reportedly become a “perfume salesman” as he began selling a “repugnant” fragrance. The richest man on earth has revealed his new business recently on Twitter while sharing a picture of a $102 (£93) perfume, called ‘Burnt Hair’. With the photo, Musk also declared that it’s “the finest fragrance on Earth!” while tagging a link of the product so that potential buyers can get it from there.

Later in a tweet, the Tesla CEO defended his new venture as he tweeted, “With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable – why did I even fight it for so long!?” A fan of his then suggested, “Make one that smells like an auto shop; hot metal, rubber, a bit of warm leather- then pocket a billion because hipsters will buy it like suburban moms buy box wine.” Another fan said, “And you were born with that name correct? Unlike the situation with ‘Tesla’ I do not believe you will have to "persuade" anybody in order to have what you want this time.”

He also announced, “And you can pay with Doge!” before eventually, claiming that “10,000 bottles of Burnt Hair sold!” As per reports, the scent is sold by The Boring Company, which calls it “The Essence of Repugnant Desire.” The site also stated two testimonials but without naming the users. They read, “Just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work,” and “Stand out in a crowd! Get noticed as you walk through the airport.”

Meanwhile, Musk and his “omnigender” perfume has sent the internet into frenzy as a user sarcastically tweeted, “Can’t afford frivolous purchases like this. Too busy paying taxes so billionaires don’t have to.” The second user wrote, “If people buy this, you might as well start selling your fingernail clippings. Some of the fans will buy anything.” The third user said, “If I wanted Burnt Hair, I’d just go for a ride in a Tesla.” “Let's see...$100 × 1mil bottles.... Def leaves enough profits from Burnt Hair after funding Boring Co, to give all 330million Americans $1mil each P-A-R-T-Y  T-I-M-E,” the fourth one shared.

A person, who apparently purchased the scent, said, “Just ordered one. Let’s see how ‘The Essence of Repugnant Desire’ actually smells, Elon!” Another person commented, “The fact that you have the power to sell technically anything (ie half of a nail) with just a twitter post and make millions out of it, I find it really unfair, as I am paying hundreds of £ /day to promote my business and I am not even break even..just unfair.”

“Missed opportunity for a name there Could have been Elon's Musk,” a tweet read. Another tweet stated, “Just ordered for my husband…sadly he doesn’t have hair to burn so…this is perfect.” “If Elon Musk closes the deal on Twitter, I’ll place an order and consider it money well spent!” a comment added.
