Grimes Explains the Origin of Her and Elon Musk's Son's Name, X Æ A-12

Grimes and Elon Musk has announced the name of their baby boy, X Æ A-12 Musk. On Monday, the couple welcomed their son and kept everything about the baby a secret. 

The Tesla CEO tweeted his newborn child's name without any explanation of how they came up with such a name. Some fans are commenting on Musk and Grimes' post. One said that he does not believe what Elon and Grimes named their baby. Another one asked why everyone is assuming that the CEO's joke tweet about their baby's name is real. 

People were debating. Some thought Musk was only bluffing about the name, but Grimes confirmed on Tuesday in her Twitter account: the name of their son is indeed what's posted by the SpaceX CEO.

What the X Æ A-12 Means

The Canadian singer said that the "X" was meant to describe an unknown variable while the "Æ" meant her elven spelling of Ai (or love and or artificial intelligence). The A-12 signifies the precursor of SR-17, which is their favorite aircraft. She added that there are no weapons and defenses but just speed. The couple also wants their son to be great in battle but minus the violence. 

Finally, the 31-year-old artist said that the letter "A" also means Archangel, which is her favorite song. Then she added a sword and rat emoji together with her post.

Some of her fans speculated that the Æ meant Ash Archangel because Æ is pronounced as "Ash" and the A-12 aircraft that Grimes included in her tweet had the nickname "Archangel."


Fans Await The Correct Pronunciation of Baby Musk's Name

While Elon Musk and Grimes seem to be enjoying their time with their newborn baby boy at home, fans are still waiting for the official pronunciation guide of the name of the couple's son. 

The 48-year-old CEO said that their newborn is happy, healthy, and cute as a button. He also has six older kids from his previous relationships.

In January, Grimes posted a topless photo of her showing the image of a baby in her belly. In February, during a candid interview with "TheFace," she shared a glimpse of her pregnancy by sharing how she is preparing to become a mom. 

She said that she created a digital version of herself, whom she calls WarNymph, so that she could prioritize bonding and spending quality time with her little one. Her digital version would be the one to do shows, photoshoots, and other stuff so that she does not have to leave her baby behind. 

Elon Musk and Grimes officially became a couple during the 2018 Met Gala. The couple surprised both the music and business industries when they confirmed that they were dating.
