    Well there goes Elon’s Doordash. Definitely not getting that $10 tip now.

    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

    Guess Elon’s weekly shipment will be late. Probably scrambling to replace it off the streets like some kind of nose-mounted vacuum cleaner.

      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.

      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:

        Any other company and I’d probably go yeah, the dealers did that, but I wholeheartedly believe Tesla has a cocaine manufacturing department.
