A man snatched up a website matching the name of Elon Musk's 'Burnt Hair' cologne — and traded it for a family tour of The Boring Company
"I said, 'Hey, I just bought burnthair.com. I live in Austin and if you have lunch with me at the gigafactory or coffee or something like that, I'll give you the domain,'" Sonne said, regarding the tweet, which has since been deleted.
"They said lunch wouldn't happen so I tried some even more outlandish asks," Sonne said."I wasn't really expecting anything out of it, I was just having fun. I asked for a call with him instead. I asked for a ride on his private plane at one point. I was just kind of throwing it all out there and seeing what they'd be willing to go for," he added, regarding his email exchanges with a worker from The Boring Company.
"There was some radio silence for a while and I was kind of worried there for a minute," Sonne said, regarding the months after he transferred ownership of the website."I had to follow up a couple of times, but then they made it happen."
