Tesla (TSLA) Chief Executive Elon Musk followed up on an April Fools' prank from earlier this year, as he posted a tweet Friday saying a Tesla-branded tequila was on its way.
"Teslaquila coming soon ..." wrote Musk in a tweet Friday.
On Monday, Tesla filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the word Teslaquila, as reported Friday by CNBC.
On Friday, Musk tweeted a photo of Teslaquila, saying "Visual approximation."

It's not the first time Musk has displayed outside-the-box antics. With the advent of his tunnel-digging company Boring Co., in January the Boring website began offering real fire-shooting flamethrowers for $500 each. All 20,000 flamethrowers sold, reaping $10 million.
When the zombie apocalypse happens, you’ll be glad you bought a flamethrower. Works against hordes of the undead or your money back!

In July, Tesla began selling a limited edition of 200 surfboards for $1,500 each. They sold out in one day.
In addition to running Tesla, Musk is the founder and chief executive of rocket-ship maker SpaceX. In addition to launching satellites and ferrying supplies to the International Space Station, SpaceX is also planning on taking paying customers to the Moon.
Shares of Tesla were near 254.70, up 1% during afternoon trading on the stock market today.
No word yet on when Teslaquila will hit the market.
