Mexican President Sheinbaum considers suing Elon Musk over baseless cartel influence claims following El Mencho's killing.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is considering legal action against Elon Musk after he accused her of being influenced by drug cartels on X, following the killing of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera, known as “El Mencho.” Sheinbaum denied the claims, calling them baseless and damaging, and said her legal team is reviewing the remarks. The controversy arises amid heightened violence in Mexico after cartel retaliation, with over 130,000 people missing and ongoing concerns about U.S.-sourced weapons fueling the conflict. Sheinbaum has consistently opposed a return to a “war on drugs,” citing its violent legacy.
