Not An April Fool's Joke Anymore. Tesla Files Patent For 'Teslaquila'
SAN FRANCISCO: An April Fool's Day prank may soon see the light of day as billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has confirmed that a Tesla-branded tequila, called "Teslaquila", is "coming soon".
Teslaquila first featured in an April Fool's joke in which Mr Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said on Twitter that he had been found "passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by 'Teslaquila' bottles" as he joked about his electric car company going bankrupt.
A few days later, he posted a photo on Instagram of a tequila bottle with "Teslaquila" label plastered on it.
The tweet, it now turns out, was a teaser for Teslaquila, as according to a report in CNBC on Friday Tesla had filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office to trademark "Teslaquila".
