    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?

    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. 😕

      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.

    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.

      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

        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.

      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.
