Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his partner, Singer Grimes have got a lot of people talking after they named their new born son “X AE A-12 Musk”.
The 32-year-old Canadian singer, who gave birth to the couple’s first child on Monday, took to Twitter to confirm their baby’s name and to reveal the meaning of the bizarre name.
X [represents] the unknown variable,’ Grimes wrote, referring to the first letter of X Æ A-12’s name.
‘Æ is the the Elven spelling of of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence),’ she stated.
The final symbol in the name, Grimes explained, is a reference the A-12 aircraft built for the CIA in the 1960s.
‘A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent,’ the star stated.
Grimes also added that A additionally stands for ‘Archangel’, ‘her favorite song’.
She ended her tweet by sharing emojis of crossed swords and a mouse – writing ‘Metal rat’
X AE A-12 Musk is Elon’s sixth child. He has five sons with ex-wife Justine Wilson. Musk and Grimes came out as a couple in May 2018 at that year’s Met Gala.
