“Stand out in a crowd! Get noticed as you walk through the airport” is one of the marketing slogans for the product, described as smelling like “repugnant desire.”

The Billionaire business disruptor behind Tesla and SpaceX said that within six hours, 10,000 bottles of his branded fragrance were sold at $100 a bottle.

Musk, who also changed his Twitter handle to “perfume salesman,” boasted that another 10,000 bottles of “Burnt Hair” were sold, reaching a total of 20,000.

The red bottled “omnigender product” is also described as “just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work” in a video on the website for his infrastructure services company, The Boring Company. It isn’t expected to ship until next year.

Many of his 108,7 million Twitter followers are having fun with the play on Musk’s name, or even the idea that he’s entering the market with a slew of comical memes and GIFS.
