Elon Musk’s SpaceX rejected allegations from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum that debris in northern Mexico from rocket launches in Texas was dangerous.

“As previously stated, there are no hazards to the surrounding area,” said SpaceX in a post on X. “SpaceX looks forward to working with the Mexican government and local authorities for the return of the debris as soon as possible.”
