## Forbidden Idolatry

Hey, you! Yes, *you,* discerning consumer! Do you have $5,830 to burn and disposable income where your soul should be? If so, it's a great day to be you: A Russian company called Caviar is selling an Elon Musk-themed iPhone 12 for that exact amount!

Caviar has a long history of selling outlandish and expensive iPhone designs, *[Fox Business ](<https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/caviar-elon-musk-spacex-themed-iphone-12>)*[reports](<https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/caviar-elon-musk-spacex-themed-iphone-12>). Now, the company is claiming that its Elon Musk model gives customers a little piece of history in the form of some nondescript chunk of a SpaceX rocket.

## Scrap Metal

As *CNBC* reporter Michael Sheetz [points out on Twitter](<https://twitter.com/thesheetztweetz/status/1294000144321523712>), Caviar doesn't clarify where it's getting this alleged SpaceX scrap metal beyond vague references to the Demo-2 mission. So, you know, buyer beware.

Even more interesting is the small fact that there's no such thing as the iPhone 12, at least for a [few more months](<https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/>). But don't let that stop you from being the first to cop that grail, king.

## Some Thoughts

In the event the Muskphone won't arrive soon enough for you, player, we here at Futurism compiled this brief list of other, better things that also cost about $5,800. For example:

- [Diamond earbuds](<http://ignitestudentlife.com/news/ignite/9-outrageous-things-you-can-buy-with-5000/>)
- A [human-sized](<https://www.hammacher.com/product/human-bowling-ball>) bowling lane
- The [most expensive matchbook](<https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/416125-most-expensive-matchbook>) in the world

And you know what? You could even still use that money to help out [ol' Elon](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-sharing-coronavirus-misinformation>): $5,800 would get you 58 [Cybertruck preorders](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-cybertruck-pre-orders-250000>), and at least those don't come with any sort of commitment.
