The stage heats up
The Mexican political board received a blow from Silicon Valley. Elon Musk, the technology mogul, launched darts against President Claudia Sheinbaum on his own platform. And of course, the party in power did not stay with its arms crossed.
The Morena legislators came out almost instantly. It is as if they have been waiting for the script for this act of public defense.
Jenaro Villamil was direct: he questioned the “lack of respect towards a head of state” and asked Musk to take responsibility for the content on his network.
The official narrative was activated. Senator Andrea Chávez Treviño painted the image of a “brave President” at the head of the Armed Forces. It’s not just a response, it’s a strategic repositioning in the midst of chaos.
A coordinated defense
The message was replicated with surgical precision. Senator Alejandro Murat defended the “zero tolerance” policy, while Julieta Ramírez spoke of “historic results” and called for more international cooperation.
But here is the detail that many overlook: Musk’s criticisms came shrouded in the smoke of the blockades and violence after the fall of ‘El Mencho’. The timing is not a coincidence.
Musk accused – without evidence – Sheinbaum of responding to organized crime interests. He just dropped the bomb and let it explode in the networks. A classic move by the tycoon, but with real consequences in Mexican politics.
This exchange raised the temperature just as the country attempts to process massive federal operations. Politics is no longer played only in the National Palace or the Senate; It is disputed character by character on global platforms where a billionaire has more reach than any official statement.
My father was right: politics affects daily life. Only now, the shots come from an app on your phone.
