For me, graffiti is funny. Molotov cocktails not so much. I wouldn't want anyone actually hurt just because they stupidly bought a Tesla.

Elon Musk insinuates that Carlos Slim has ties to organized crime

Elon Musk stirred up a new controversy when he reposted a claim that Carlos Slim has links with organized crime prompting Claudia Sheinbaum to deny it.

en.as.com

In a significant business development, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has decided to cancel his collaboration with Elon Musk’s Starlink. The decision comes after a series of tensions between the two magnates, culminating in Slim’s choice to invest in his own infrastructure rather than relying on Starlink’s satellite technology.

Slim’s company, América Móvil, announced plans to invest $22 billion over the next three years to enhance its telecommunications infrastructure. This move is seen as a strategic effort to strengthen its position in the market and reduce dependency on external partners like Starlink. The decision is expected to have a substantial financial impact on Musk’s company, which had anticipated a lucrative partnership in Latin America.

The fallout between Slim and Musk was further exacerbated by a controversial tweet from Musk, which implied connections between Slim and organized crime. This accusation, although unproven, added fuel to the already strained relationship between the two business tycoons.
