						<p>Elon Musk floated the idea of a Tesla-branded tequila on April Fools&#8217; Day — but the product was apparently no joke.</p>
<p>A bottle of the agave-based spirit will run buyers $250 a bottle — and customers are limited to two bottles per person.</p>
<p>According to their website, the tequila will be sold in a bottle in the shape of Tesla&#8217;s iconic lightning bolt logo.</p>
<p>The car company is advertising the liquor as &#8220;premium 100% de agave tequila añejo aged in French oak barrels,&#8221; and claims it has &#8220;a dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just hours after the tequila went on sale, Tesla&#8217;s website was sold out of the product. Resellers are already <a href="https://twitter.com/casgains/status/1324562479758757890" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">scalping the bottles</a> for as much as $999.</p>
<p>Musk previously joked about &#8220;Teslaquila&#8221; as part of an <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/980566116614291456" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">April Fools Day prank</a> in 2018.</p>
<p>As part of the joke, Musk claimed the company was out of money and posed with a cardboard sign that read &#8220;Bankwupt!&#8221;</p>
<p>The tequila announcement comes on the heels of a statement Musk made <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1323640901248393217" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on Twitter earlier this week,</a> revealing that the company really was <strong>&#8220;about a month&#8221;</strong> away from bankruptcy between mid-2017 and mid-2019.</p>
