In 2022, Elon Musk has a fortune of just over 247.6 billion dollars.
Tesla is positioned as the sixth company in the United States to exceed one billion dollars.
The South African businessman has a Twitter community of more than one hundred million.
Today it is increasingly common for people to be attracted to brands that create eye-catching products or services. That is why one of the most controversial public figures in the world, such as Elon Musk, announced his new product and it is a perfume with the aroma of “burnt hair”, which according to the businessman Twitter will be able to buy with the profits from the fragrance.
Without a doubt, when we talk about the most influential and important personalities in the world, we must name Elon Musk, who according to Forbes estimatesHe is the richest person in the world. This list of billionaires positions the South African in the number one position, having a wealth concentrated largely in shares, at just over 247.6 billion dollars.
Let’s remember that this businessman owns companies like Tesla, where it is positioned as the sixth company in the United States to exceed one billion dollars and Musk owns 21 percent of the company.
Likewise, the businessman also has the company Spacex, which works to revolutionize space travel and is worth approximately 74 billion dollars as of February 2021.
That’s how it is Burnt Hair
As a new launch, the businessman promotes a new perfume on his Twitter account, but many wonder if it is a joke or if it is a real product.
In a post on Twitter, Musk announced the scent, called “Burnt Hair” and described as “the essence of sickening desire.” After the announcement, the controversial businessman changed his Twitter biography to “Perfume seller”.
Among the speculations after the tweet of the future Twitter buyer, the page of Boring Co., Musk’s tunneling company, assured that the fragrance is priced at $100, which is equivalent to two thousand Mexican pesos, each, and Musk later tweeted that 10,000 bottles had been sold.

For his part, in another September publication, the South African had already said that Boring Co. would launch a fragrance for “men that would help them stand out from the crowd.”

This new release surprises again, as the CEO of Tesla Inc. has a history of advertising products based on jokes that his millions of followers have bought as collectibles. As an example, a limited line of 20,000 flamethrowers sold by Boring Co.
As also in the year 2018 it raised 10 million dollars for its tunneling tests and attracted great interest in people. Including a Tesla Tequila based on an April Fools’ Day prank and a pair of satin shorts priced at $69,420.
In that sense, it does not sound unreasonable for a figure like Musk to launch his own products for sale, since today many artists, athletes, businessmen and even politicians do so.
As an example, the Colombian singer Shakira also has her line of perfumes, joining the list of artists such as Paris Hilton, Ariana Grande, Antonio Banderas, among others, to have various fragrances on the market.
And this is how many see it as a great attraction to use social networks to promote their services or virally promote their most controversial products, causing the digital pulse to talk about it and even pushing them to buy.
