Elon Musk became a trending topic on social media with his controversial reaction after the agreement reached by Mexico and the United States to delay tariffs for a month. It is worth remembering that the billionaire’s stances were somewhat sarcastic regarding the policies imposed by Trump, however, it seems that he has now changed his mind.

It was last Monday, February 3, 2025, when the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, announced in her morning press conference from the National Palace that after a phone call that lasted more than an hour and a half, she managed to delay the imposition of the 25% tariffs that Trump had threatened. The news was well received by national leaders and applauded, although it is temporary.

Days before the delay of the United States tariffs against Mexico, Elon Musk mocked Sheinbaum Pardo’s statements on social media, after denying the White House’s accusation that the Mexican government was directly linked to organized crime cartels, since it was through a publication on his social network X, when he put a laughing emoji to the President’s statements, a situation that generated controversy on the Internet.

The change in his attitude that Internet users have begun to criticize is his reaction, after the announcement of a pause in tariffs, on the same social network ‘formerly Twitter’, “Amazing” stated forcefully.

As uncertainty grew among investors, it was at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, February 3, 2025, when Dr. Claudia Sheinbuam and Donald Trump held a phone call  to reach a good agreement between both nations. After an hour and a half of conversation in which both international representatives described as “respectful” and “friendly”, they agreed to delay the imposition of the tariff tax for a month.

Trump reported on his social networks that after holding a friendly call with the President of Mexico, he decided to delay the imposition of the 25% tariffs, since Sheinbaum had committed to urgently and immediately send 10,000 Mexican soldiers to the southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl and the entry of immigrants into her country.

  • 1. Mexico will immediately reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.
  • 2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.
  • 3. Our teams will start working today on two fronts: security and trade.
  • 4. Tariffs are paused for one month from now.
