  • Claudia Sheinbaum is considering legal action after Elon Musk posted on X alleging she was tied to drug cartels following the capture and killing of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera.

  • Government lawyers are reviewing the claim while U.S. defamation law poses a challenge because plaintiffs must prove a speaker knowingly lied or recklessly disregarded the truth.

  • Sheinbaum said the security operation does not signal a return to a war-on-drugs approach and expects security to normalize despite cartel-coordinated roadblocks and arson attacks.

  • MORENA president Luisa Alcalde criticized Musk’s use of his platform and urged action against drug consumption, addiction and narco culture, noting Mexico has over 130,000 missing people linked to cartel violence.
  • Returning to the war on drugs is not an option ... it is outside the framework of the law
