Claudia Sheinbaum could face difficulty suing the tech billionaire for defamation in the U.S.
MEXICO CITY, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday she is considering legal action following a comment by tech billionaire Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, that alleged she was connected to drug cartels.
Musk’s post on X followed the capture and killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho,” by Mexican security forces.
In the post, Musk responded to a 2025 video of Sheinbaum discussing cartel violence and alleged that she was “saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say.” He did not provide further evidence.
“We are considering whether to take legal action,” Sheinbaum said during her daily morning press conference, adding that government lawyers are reviewing the matter.
