Tesla and Mexico are more than business. After knowing that Elon MuskCEO of the electric car company, will reach an agreement for the construction of a gigafactory of his company in Nuevo León, now it seems that his ties with the state become more familiar.

In an interview for Telediario Mediodía with María Julia Lafuente, García joked about the possibility that the also CEO of Twitter and SpaceX was the godfather of his eldest daughter.
“Let’s see if my daughter becomes an astronaut”
The governor of the aforementioned Mexican state said that he would love Musk to be Mariel’s godfather, to which Lafuene replied that “the godfather’s gig is impressive.”
“If I pay for the race (to Mariel), with this I have. Let’s see if my daughter comes out as an astronaut or something mop because, I jokingly said it in a story (on Instagram) he is South African, I don’t know what mentality they have, but imagine that he could reach a little meat: ‘my compadre Elon Musk spoke to meGarcia said.
The governor revealed that during the businessman’s visit to Monterrey, Mariana was the one who liked the Tesla owner the best. He also recounted that they showed him approximately seven pieces of land so that he could choose where to install the gigafactory in the state.
“What is certain is that the person who should ask for it is Mariana, because she liked Mariana better than me, I came in the helicopter, we showed her seven terrains, the pros and cons of each one and she threw me like a lion, she threw me on all of them a león, until we got to LEGO he already started talking with my wife”.
The LEGO plant in Nuevo León is the largest plant in the world of the Danish toy company, something that allowed Musk and Mariana to coincide: “They were both LEGO fans and they hit it off there”.
“You tell him that you want to be his comadre, that he wants to be Marielon’s godfather”, declared the governor with a laugh, combining the names of his daughter and the tycoon.
