Mexico's President Considers Legal Action After Musk Links Her to Drug Cartels

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is considering legal action after Elon Musk posted on X alleging she was influenced by drug cartels, following the capture and killing of cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera. Musk cited a 2025 video where Sheinbaum discussed cartel violence but provided no evidence for his claim. Sheinbaum emphasized seeking peace over war on drugs and noted challenges in suing Musk in the U.S. due to free speech protections. Government lawyers are reviewing the matter.
