SpaceX-branded cocaine?! Ok, this is a new one! I didn't know what was a thing!

It’s needed during launch to get you extra high.

Federal police said they had identified evidence of international drug trafficking, the outlet also reported.

You mean aside from the 200 kg of cocaine?

That "international" part is important, and the journalist made a really bad job by letting it out of some places.

This is honestly hilarious to me. Like, is this just a smuggler having a laugh? Was he hoping this would avoid suspicion? or is this actually meant to be a Space-X purchase and Elon's monthly shipment went down in Brazil? The branding on that brick just brings up so many questions.

I guess it's like XTC? Just some random branding to differentiate from others?

Also it's not like they have to worry about take down notices or copyright lawsuits

I have no experience with bricks of cocaine, but for other substances I've seen them branded kind of like this.

Pills with Mitsubishi, playboy, or hello kitty logos pressed on the pill itself. LSD sheets with printed pictures, usually not brand logos. Hashish 100g mini-bricks (this are what I've seen the most) with anything from logos, cartoons, random drawings, even pictures of famous people (some months ago I got a Ronaldinho, lol).
