Musk and Grimes name their son X Æ A-12

Elon Musk and singer Grimes have welcomed a baby boy, and the world is puzzled over his unique name: X Æ A-12.

Meaning behind the name

Grimes has revealed the meaning behind the unusual name. The "X" stands for the unknown variable, "Æ" is her elven spelling of Ai (love or artificial intelligence), and "A-12" is a reference to the Archangel-12, a Lockheed reconnaissance aircraft. "A" also refers to their favorite song, "Archangel," while "12" represents the Chinese zodiac sign of the rat.

The couple has not yet commented on the pronunciation of the name.

Musk's other children

This is the first child for Grimes and Musk's first son. Musk has five other children from his previous marriage to Justine Wilson.
