Despite the success his latest venture has already achieved, Musk's fragrance business has drawn mixed reactions among netizens. Critics took to Twitter to express their opinion on the bizarre "Burnt Hair" fragrance, implying that Musk may be selling the product as a joke to foolish buyers.

I’m over here working hard to survive. Meanwhile Elon Musk is continuing his same old con game. He’s mucking up Twitter, talking evil with Vlad, and trying to upstage Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina smelling candle with his burnt hair perfume. ‘Merica.
