ELON MUSK AND CLAIRE GRIMES HAVE X Æ A-X12

Billionaire and real-life version of Tony Stark, Elon Musk, and his girlfriend, singer Claire Grimes, had their son and named him something utterly unique. They welcomed X Æ A-X12 Musk, their first baby to the world, last May 4. The name is pronounced as X – Ash – A – 12. Grimes tweeted a full explanation about their bouncing baby boy’s interesting name.

She said that the “X” in the name was the “unknown variable Crossed swords”; the Æ was an elven form of “Ai.” Besides it also being an acronym for “Artificial intelligence,” it is also a way of saying “love” across multiple languages, both human and not. Finally, “A-12” was the ancestor of the SR-17, the couple’s favorite plane. They liked it because of its lack of weapons and its great speed. According to Musk in an interview, it was Grimes’ degree of creativity that thought of the name. His contribution was the “A-12”.
