Elon Musk’s job title has changed from billionaire inventor and entrepreneur to glorified billionaire internet troll. In addition to things like electric cars and spaceships, he spends quite a bit of time creating tongue-in-cheek products and frequently gets into Twitter battles with politicians whose ideals don’t align with his.
As he’s shown with the Boring Company flamethrower and Tesla Tequila, Musk has a flair for promotional products. His latest is the Cyberwhistle, a real whistle made to look like the pixelated Cybertruck and designed for customers to “blow the whistle on Tesla.”

Oh, it costs $50 and it’s already sold out.
“Inspired by the Cybertruck, the limited-edition Cyberwhistle is a premium collectible made from medical-grade stainless steel with a polished finish,” the product description said, according to Engadget. “The whistle includes an integrated attachment feature for added versatility.”
It’s … a whistle, though. How many bells and, uh, whistles, does it need?
Part of the decision to roll this out was to spite Apple for releasing a $19 Apple-branded microfiber cloth.
Don’t waste your money on that silly Apple Cloth, buy our whistle instead!

This surely won’t be Musk and Tesla’s last snarky promotional product. Especially if fans keep buying up everything Musk tweets about.
