      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/

    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 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.

      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.

      a pile of "Orange Teslas" MDMA pills

    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.

    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.
