Elon Musk and Kopiko Candy


In a recent event, Elon Musk was presented with Kopiko coffee-flavored candy, an Indonesian product made from real coffee-bean extract. Musk expressed his enjoyment of the candy, giving it two thumbs up. This candy is notable for its use in space, having been taken by NASA astronauts due to its high quality and rigorous standards


Challenge to Warren Buffett's See's Candies


In 2018, Elon Musk announced on Twitter that he was considering starting a candy company to compete with Warren Buffett's See's Candies, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. However, Musk ultimately scrapped the idea after conducting extensive taste tests and failing to find a candy that was significantly better than what was already available. Musk emphasized that he would not start a business without a superior product, acknowledging the strong brand and loyal customer base of See's Candies


Tesla's Entry into the Candy Market

More recently, Tesla, under Elon Musk's leadership, has filed trademark applications for four new candy products:


Supercharged Gummies: Suggests a vibrant and energetic treat.

Cyberberry: A futuristic candy option possibly leveraging new food technologies.

Mango Bolt: Combines tropical flavor with the imagery of speed and power.

UMISH

Dog Mode Chill: Designed to be cooling and relaxing, tied to Tesla's Dog Mode feature for pets

"

"

These candies reflect Tesla's innovative and bold approach to the confectionery market, leveraging the company's strong brand recognition and unique branding elements. While the trademark applications have been filed, it remains to be seen whether these products will be launched and how they will be received by the market.This move is part of Tesla's strategy to diversify its brand and engage with a broader audience, showcasing Musk's penchant for innovative and sometimes unconventional business decisions.
