    I remember when a business jet packed to the gills with cocaine crashed and when they investigated, it turned out to be owned by a CIA shell company and previously used to shuttle people to Guantanamo for torture after an extraordinary rendition

      I thought no fucking way they found over 7000lb of cocaine on a little business jet but yeah, that Gulfstream could probably barely take off with that much on board. That’s one badass airframe.

        Maximum payload is 1.5t but the fuel payload is 12t so 3t of cocaine barely scratches it

        You don’t have to move fent. You can make it locally. The fent is usually mixed with other drugs, a little bit of cocaine could be laced with a whole lot of fent and then sold as pure cocaine to maximize profit.

            Truth be told I have no idea what’s actually popular now, but when fentanyl hit the scene, for years it was being mixed into other drugs as a cheap filler that would also make the drug more potent, faster acting and more addictive.

        Cocaine production in latin America has never been higher, it’s dropped the price by huge amounts and now they are looking outside the USA to sell since the USA decided to kill their own economy.

    It can be one of three scenarios IMO:

    A: Elon is being particularly dumb and actually produced and distributed drugs with his logo.

    B: The Trump Regime created and planted these drugs to manufacture a reason to prosecute Elon.

    C: Some drug distributor is a huge fan of SpaceX, or wants to deflect investigation away from their other operations.

    …the world being the way it is, all three seems pretty damn plausible to me. 😕

      D: They’re branding their coke the same way that MDMA pill pressers will stamp real logos on their product to market it (without permission, of course). They usually don’t do this with coke, but it’s not unheard of.

      I personally have a theory that they are indeed supplying pill manufacturers with high quality presses.

      Most high quality pills (not talking about contents) I have seen beeing confiscated in night clubs are branded with car or fashion brands.

      So maybe they are targeting people when they have a high happy hormone output.

      Like: woah that mitsubishi is making me feel soooo great and suff.

      Oh god the new Tesla’s are so strong.

      Sounds like something marketing departments would get off on.

        It’s easier for drug manufacturers to appropriate brands than to come up with their own. Car and luxury brands are common, but so are other brands like Netflix, characters from comics, cartoons, video games, etc. The manufacturers need an easily recognizable and memorable design.

        Check out this database for examples. https://www.drugsdata.org/
