TECH - Tesla Files Trademark Applications For Cyberberry And Supercharged Gummies Years After CEO Elon Musk Teased Making His Own Candy Company | Benzinga
EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has filed four trademark applications for four different candies named after its many EV products, in what seems to be an attempt at fulfilling its CEO’s dream for better candies in the U.S.
What Happened: The trademark applications are for four pieces of candy named Cyberberry, Supercharged Gummies, Mango Bolt, and Dog Mode Chill. The applications have been accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office but have not been assigned to an examiner yet.
Musk has previously teased making his own candy company. “I'm starting a candy company & it's going to be amazing,” Musk wrote on X in May 2018, while adding that he is “super serious.”
The comment came in response to Warren Buffett who said, "Elon may turn things upside down in some areas. I don't think he'd want to take us on in candy.” Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway owns California-based candy manufacturer See’s Candies.
