Sheinbaum Celebrates Title Granted by X's AI

Sheinbaum celebrates her title granted by X’s AI.
As reported by EFE.
Here are the details.

The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded with good humor after Grok, the artificial intelligence (AI) integrated into the social network X (formerly Twitter), replied to her Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele, that she is “the most popular president in the world.”

The curious moment happened when Bukele asked on his official account: “Hey, Grok, who is the most popular president in the world? Answer in one word.”

The AI quickly replied: “Sheinbaum.” The response caused a stir on social media and even made it to the president’s morning press conference, where Sheinbaum smiled as she showed the post.

“That was a good one,” Sheinbaum said with a laugh, adding, “The answer speaks for itself.”

This light-hearted gesture reinforces the image of confidence that the president has projected since taking office—especially after reaching a historic approval rating of 85% in March, the highest recorded in Mexico in the past 30 years, according to a poll by El Financiero.

The interaction with the AI takes on an interesting tone given the recent tensions between Mexico and El Salvador.

Bukele had stirred controversy just days earlier by criticizing Mexico’s security situation and claiming that violence there could be resolved by following El Salvador’s strict security model.

Moreover, the fact that Grok named Claudia Sheinbaum instead of more expected figures—such as former U.S. President Donald Trump, who still enjoys a powerful support base—caught many by surprise.

Reactions quickly poured in, with some users wondering how Trump might respond to the unexpected result.

The incident also sparks discussion on the role of artificial intelligence in shaping political perception.

Although Grok’s response may seem like a lighthearted interaction, it reflects the growing intersection between politics and technology—and how such tools can influence public opinion.

For now, Sheinbaum continues to build her popularity in Mexico and, apparently, in the digital world as well. “The most popular president in the world,” at least according to AI, keeps the conversation going both at home and abroad.
