X Æ A-12 Is Elon Musk’s Name For His Baby And It Has Spawned Hilarious Memes
Unique and crazy baby names are not uncommon among celebrities. But if you thought ‘North West’ (Kim Kardashian’s daughter) and ‘Kulture Kiari Cephus’ (Cardi B’s daughter) were weird, you’re going to be caught off guard by the name Elon Musk and Grimes have chosen for their baby.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and musician Grimes, who have been dating since 2018, revealed in February that they were having a child together. Now that they’ve finally welcomed their little baby into this world, the internet has exploded with curious tweets and comments.
In a reply to one such tweet, Elon Musk revealed that they had named the baby ‘X Æ A – 12’. Grimes herself provided a detailed, yet even more confusing explanation for this unconventional choice. She broke down every alphabet of the name, and said that ‘X’ is the ‘unknown variable’, ‘Æ’ is ‘my elven spelling of Ai (love &/ or Artificial Intelligence), and ‘A-12’ is ‘the precursor to SR – 17 (our favourite aircraft)’. Additionally, A = Archangel, her favourite song.
•X, the unknown variable ⚔️
•Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)
•A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent 🤍

(A=Archangel, my favorite song)

People have already started decoding the name and trying to figure out what it could be. We’ve got a pretty interesting theory that claims the name is ‘Ash Arkangel Musk’:
Well when your a genius I suppose your baby will have a genius name.
Says a lot that people in the comments don’t understand the meanings.
Ae is the symbol for ash. Lookheed a-12 was the name for the ark angel plane.
Hence ash arkangel musk.
