Mexico weighs legal action after Musk links president to drug cartels

Sheinbaum called Musk's unproven cartel control claim absurd and said government lawyers are reviewing a possible lawsuit amid cartel violence linked to 130,000 missing people.

  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is considering legal action against Elon Musk after he alleged that she takes orders from drug cartels.
  • Musk's post on X followed the capture and killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera by Mexican security forces.
  • Sheinbaum said a return to a war on drugs was not feasible, and the government is looking for peace, not war, despite over 130,000 people missing in Mexico due to cartel violence.
