Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo<\/a> said her government is considering legal action after billionaire Elon Musk<\/a> said drug cartels control her administration.
In a Feb. 24 news conference<\/a>, Sheinbaum called Musk\u2019s allegations, presented without evidence on his social media platform X, absurd. Sheinbaum\u2019s comments come days after Mexican officials said armed forces killed<\/a> wanted drug lord Nemesio Rube\u0301n Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho,<\/a> during a Feb. 22 military operation<\/a> in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
\u201cWe are considering whether we take legal action,\u201d Sheinbaum, a member of the left-leaning MORENA party<\/a>, told reporters. \u201cThe lawyers are reviewing it. But the truth is what matters to me is what the people say.\u201d
On his platform, Musk, a right-wing ally of President Donald Trump<\/a>, on Feb. 23 said Sheinbaum was \u201cjust saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say.\u201d Musk, whose net worth is more than $840 billion, was responding to a 2025 video in which Sheinbaum said returning to a war on drugs wasn’t an option.
\u201cLet\u2019s just say that their punishment for disobedience is a little worse than a \u2018performance improvement plan\u2019 \u2026\u201d his X post<\/a> said.
Press contacts for Musk’s companies, including Tesla and Space X, didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Sheinbaum said claims of a \u201cnarcogobierno,\u201d or a government controlled by drug traffickers, were \u201cabsurd.\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t know how they make this stuff up,\u201d she said. \u201cIt makes me laugh reading this from the commentators.\u201d
Mexican officials said the military operation to apprehend Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel<\/a>, came with help from American military intelligence<\/a>. In the aftermath, Mexican officials have tried to regain control in parts of the country after armed groups began public displays of violence, including shootouts and blockades of roadways in several states.<\/p>\n
