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

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago

This is ridiculous.

Elon never tips.

How much of the product was in the pilot's system?

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

Oh my god still? Cocaine isn't cool anymore. Fent is more profitable to move. What the hell? Was The Deserter right?

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.

[–] BillBurBaggins@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

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

Hi aplane, I'm dad.

Federal police are still investigating whether the aircraft was involved in drug trafficking

Um....

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 36 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Maybe it was just for personal use

Musk's personal stash

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Looks like a whole weeks supply. He’ll be devastated

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 62 points 5 hours ago

finally an article that's oniony beyond the headline

[–] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 4 hours ago

It was headed to a Coca-Cola factory. They are adding it back along with real cane sugar.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

It was medicinal cocaine!

[–] Envy@fedia.io 4 points 2 hours ago

Musk ain't getting shit done anytime soon

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 35 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 19 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That’s this cursed timeline’s equivalent of Mitsubishi MDMA pills

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Fuck yeah my guy! You brought back memories...

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I wonder if it's a joke label or not

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago

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:

I only get that Johnny Chimpo branded stuff. It's Afghanistanimation!
