Jerome Eady said he was just trying to help when he applied for trademarks on Tesla’s behalf. The self-professed fan of the brand, though, mostly caused confusion, after his actions led some to believe that the automaker was working on boats and airplanes, in addition to cars.

Trademark applications were reportedly filed by Eady on December 28, though according to the documents, the trademark would actually be owned by Tesla. The filings were discovered early this week by Electrek, which noted that they were intended to extend the Tesla brand trademark to encompass electric motors that are “not for land vehicles.”

In the application, it is written that the company does not currently use the trademark for those categories, but “intends to use” it for “motors for airplanes,” “boat motors,” and “electric motors for toys.”

The story caused some confusion after being picked up by websites like Investing.com, because the applications made it appear that the company was thinking about branching out into the naval and aeronautical spaces. When reached for comment by Bloomberg, though, Eady admitted that he has no affiliation with Tesla.

In fact, he claimed that the filing was made without the company’s knowledge. He said, however, that he was making the applications proactively, following comments from Tesla CEO Elon Musk that the Cybertruck could “serve briefly as a boat.”

The fact that those comments led to objections from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, which tweeted that it was “begging you to understand that anything that ‘serves briefly as a boat’ should not be used as a boat” over a picture of a car in the process of being swept away by a raging river, apparently did not deter Eady.

In addition to making bold promises about how waterproof the Cybertruck is, Musk has also ruminated publicly that he would someday like to work on an electric flying vehicle. He admitted after saying that, though, that he was not in a position to actually focus his or Tesla’s efforts on such a project.

Despite that, Eady still wrote the trademark application on Tesla’s behalf. If you really want a Tesla-related boat, though, it may soon be possible to buy one, because one of the company’s former executives has launched a company that plans to make an 800 hp (596 kW/811 PS) electric yacht. Unfortunately, boaters will have to wait until at least 2024 before they can buy it.
