Kicker: A man who can sell anything

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Well, Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO—has reached such an iconic status in America that some people will buy anything he’s selling. Don’t believe me?

Well, here’s the proof. Musk just sold a million dollars worth of a perfume called “Burnt Hair.”

He sold 10,000 bottles of the Burnt Hair fragrance at a $100 a pop in a matter of hours.

Musk is called many things:

Tech pioneer, space explorer, the world's richest man, and now perfume salesman. The Midas Touch.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
