Elon Musk announced the comer of his first boy with musician Grimes and the world just can not make up its creative thinker about the infant ’s name .
The 48 - twelvemonth - older SpaceX foundertweetedon Monday to his 33.6 million followers that “ Mom & child all good ” . ( Ahem , May the Fourthbe with him ? ) . When prompted for the new comer ’s name , the tech billionairewrotethat the baby ’s name was X Æ A-12 Musk .
The Tesla Chief Executive shared a photo to Twitter , with both father and Word appearing to be healthy and happy .
And then one a bit more on the edgy side . Musk mail a second icon of a filtered X Æ A-12 with face tattoo that would be the invidia ofPost Malone .
For a while , nobody was sure if Musk was jest about the baby ’s alleged name . IFLScience eventweetedMusk but had not received a reception at the clock time of publication . Now , Grimes seem to have come forward toconfirm the name , and its meaning .
But not before citizenry had a few pang at working it out themselves . Some people have propose that the equation - like name may plainly be a numerical job that leads to the unveiling of the baby ’s alphabetical name . Another suggested the name is plainly a code .
filth , who foretell in February she would be have their child key their own gender , learn to Twitter to seemingly reassert the unusual name , and the meaning behind what looks like random letters and numbers .
" X , the unknown variable star , Æ , my elven spelling of Ai ( love & /or Artificial intelligence ) , A-12 = precursor to SR-17 ( our favorite aircraft ) . No weapons , no DoD , just upper . outstanding in struggle , but non - red , " she wrote .
How to articulate it is anyone ’s surmisal .
Is it even legal ?
It ’s think the sister was born in Los Angeles , where the twosome lives . InCalifornia law , only name using “ the 26 alphabetic characters of the English language ” are permitted , so it ’s unlikely X Æ A-12 is on the parturition certificate .
It ’s likely worth remembering this is a support , breathing creature , not the next Tesla design . ( Fun fact : 141 babies werenamed Teslain 2017 . )
Or are they ?
We ’ll permit you be the judge .
