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.
Oh my god still? Cocaine isn't cool anymore. Fent is more profitable to move. What the hell? Was The Deserter right?
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.
Oh. I know fop was importing it?
Yeah but cocaine is neither cool nor the most profitable thing anymore, so I was kind of just asking 'wtf CIA?'
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.
Wow, the CIA sure is serious about fueling their parties INVESTIGATING DRUG LORDS
Well there goes Elon's Doordash. Definitely not getting that $10 tip now.
Guess Elon's weekly shipment will be late. Probably scrambling to replace it off the streets like some kind of nose-mounted vacuum cleaner.
Phew, at least the SpaceX branded ketamine got through.
Wow! I wonder what will happen to those 178kgs of cocaine they found!
That’s this cursed timeline’s equivalent of Mitsubishi MDMA pills
I wonder if it's a joke label or not
Some drug traffickers use existing brands to "market" themselves.
Here's some Afghan heroin seized and destroyed by the international coalition on the Arabian Sea in 2021:

I only get that Johnny Chimpo branded stuff. It's Afghanistanimation!
Id ride in a bently, I wouldnt ride in a spacex or tesler
it's okay to use a hard A with teslers it's one of those slurs that never goes out of style
i'm comparing the T word to the N word. i never said i was clever
I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the "brand identification" argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.
i need to clean my glasses i thought i finally found the secret ingredient in my beaver brand mustard
It's real. I used to buy Nike brand ecstasy all the time.
If you have a Nike store in your town, I recommend you go in and ask for the triple stacks.
I'm sorry?
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/
MDMA pills are often branded with various logos from all sorts of companies and IPs (without permission, of course), so I imagine it was something similar to that.

The plane was registered to Zambia

Musk switching away from Ketamine?
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.
definitely c. you ever seen shitty weed packaging thats an obvious reference to Rick and Morty, trump, etc? looks like that culture has made its way to cocaine now
I figure it's a bit more like option C, with a bit of knockoff mentality going on. You know how you can find pictures online of super cheap knockoff merch from like China or some African countries? That's what I'm thinking is going on here.
Probably C. Elon would be more into ketamine than cocaine.
The Reverend Horton Heat prophesise!
Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout 1982
Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, too
When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
Dropped a bunch of bales of somethin', some hit me in the eye
So I cut a bale open, and man, was I surprised
Bunch of large sized baggies with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow"
**Bales of cocaine fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like the pourin' rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes**
So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there
30 minutes later, I was a millionaire
This would actually make a lot of things start to make a lot more sense compared to any non cocaine related explanations. If it is real, it's definitely not just Elon.
Kash Patel? Stephen Miller?


I love how they have to note it was "fake space x packaging." I don't believe that for a second. This was probably elons weekend stash and he is going to be quite upset.
An Australian pilot has been killed after his plane carrying almost 200kg of cocaine wrapped in fake SpaceX packaging crashed into a sugarcane field in Brazil, local media reported.
Sure the packaging was fake, sure.
