I’d say probably a 60-70% chance the name is fake and it isn’t Elon’s personal boutique stash.
Still investigating? Do they think that that much coke was just for personal use???
Yeah, for getting high.
What does RUD mean? References to rudder abound…..few hundred kilos is almost 1000 lbs, too much weight for small plane? edit ( maybe the pilot needed that much to stay awake to fly to Australia)
Drug trafficking is one thing, but trademark infringement can get you into real trouble.
More than 187 packets of cocaine were found with what appeared to be fake SpaceX packaging – a company run by billionaire Elon Musk.
How can one tell the difference between real SpaxeX packaging and fake? (Asking for a friend).
I’m reading this as a kilo per “packet”? Dunno why Elon divvied it up and branded it. A packet is too pricey for me - I mean my friend.
The article you cited specifies it was fake packaging:
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.
Or, later, as “what appeared to be fake SpaceX packaging”.
Eh, it’s more fun to image otherwise, but I’d rate it a lot higher than the 60-70% you mentioned.
Though to mellow out the harshness, it’s also 100% possible that the article has been updated with the “fake” terminology since you first listed it, so I’m not saying you didn’t read it, just updating for the more recent posts.
I guess I should have added this.
Would have helped, yes.
Off the top of my head, 180 kg is around 396 pounds. (Approximately 2.2 lbs per kg.)
