MEXICO CITY, March 11 (Reuters) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that she will not be pursuing legal action against tech billionaire Elon Musk following his comment on X that alleged she was connected to drug cartels.
“We will see if he continues, then we’ll reevaluate,” she told a morning press conference, after saying she had decided not to pursue a civil lawsuit.
Last month, Sheinbaum had said she was considering legal action over a post in which 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.”
