The "Essence of Repugnant Desire" Burnt Hair Perfume that Elon Musk created and sold for $100 is completely gone.

The "Essence of Repugnant Desire" Burnt Hair Perfume that Elon Musk created and sold for $100 is completely gone.

The software tycoon said that 30,000 bottles had been sold.

Elon Musk, the internet jokester and CEO of multiple companies, has sold 30,000 bottles of "Burnt Hair" perfume. The "unique, limited edition, collector's item," which Musk called "the essence of disgusting desire" and "the finest fragrance on Earth," had sold out by Tuesday night, he declared on Twitter.

Initially thought to be an internet joke, Musk unveiled the perfume last week and has begun selling it on The Boring Company's website for $100 a bottle. The internet tycoon updated his Twitter bio to "Perfume Salesman" and enthusiastically encouraged customers to purchase with Doge.

You can't get any sexier than this! Musk, who also sells flamethrowers and underwear with the Tesla logo, made this statement. Also, "Buy Burnt Hair from a firm that makes holes!" he exclaimed. Pictures of him from his PayPal days compare favorably to those of him now, suggesting that he may be familiar with the odor of burnt hair.

Musk has agreed to acquire Twitter again despite having previously begged his followers to purchase his perfume to fund the firm's purchase.

On October 12, he tweeted, "Please buy my perfume so I can own Twitter."


His $44 billion acquisition of Twitter would need him to sell a lot of cologne. To make the $44 billion-plus closing costs, one of his followers pointed out, he would have to sell at least 440 million bottles of "Burnt Hair." Reuters claimed that Musk has gathered $7.1 billion from equity investors and that banks have agreed to lend him $13 billion for the purchase. And therefore, Musk still has to come up with $22.4 billion.

It should be made clear that it is not known for sure whether or not "Burnt Hair" genuinely has the fragrance of burnt hair. There's a description of the product on The Boring Company's website that goes something like this:

"It's like eating dinner by the light of a candle, except easier."

I can attest to the unpleasantness of the smell of burnt hair, having done it myself on occasion while trying to straighten it.

To find out what Musk's version of burnt hair smells like, we'll have to wait until the first quarter of 2023, when the "Burnt Hair" perfume is scheduled to begin shipping, says The Boring Company's website.
