“I know all about [selling drugs]. Easy business,” Roberto Escobar, brother of the late druglord Pablo Escobar, writes in an open letter to Tesla’s Elon Musk.
This affirmation is actually from a 2-part business offer from Escobar to Musk: they’re to start a weed business together and Musk is to intercede on Escobar’s behalf, to get Trump to pardon him. The latter would allow Escobar to return to the U.S., where he would “help… make Tesla profitable.”
This reads like a joke, but is anything but. A couple of weeks ago, Escobar publicly accused Elon Musk of stealing his flamethrower idea for the Not-a-Flamethrower toy, with the only difference that Escobar built his so he could burn money with it. Literally so.
Escobar demanded $100 million for the idea theft or shares in Tesla. Musk responded on Twitter saying “It’s Not a Flamethrower, Mr. Escobar,” and left it at that.
Well, Escobar is not having it. In another open letter obtained by TMZ, he sends an olive branch to the Tesla honcho by proposing that they go in business together. “Smart gringo” Musk even gets a nickname because, as Escobar puts it, everyone in “our business” has a nickname: he will be La Mosca (The Fly), like the car Roberto and Pablo used to smuggle drugs from Peru to Columbia, which is still in full working order.
We promise that this is not a joke.
So, Escobar offers Musk 3 options: number 1, they should start selling weed together, because he knows all about selling drugs and it’s “easy.” Their company would be called Elon Escobar Drugs Inc., for the record.
Option number 2 is that Musk intercede with President Donald Trump in Escobar’s favor, so that he would get a pardon. This would allow him to travel to the U.S., where he would help Musk sell those Teslas that he keeps making, by setting up a joint company.
Option number 3 is the less generous: “There is no solution three. Do these two things and we are good my friend. I am waiting,” Escobar writes.
So far, no response from Musk, so we’ll just have to assume that he’s passed out from laughing somewhere. Either that, or he’s seriously considering partnering with Escobar, dreaming of the time they’d spend together burning all that money with their Not Flamethrowers, in true gangster style.
