KEY POINTS

  • Elon Musk shared the first photo of his baby with Grimes
  • Elon Musk and Grimes give their baby boy a unique name
  • Grimes felt that she sacrificed her body and freedom when she decided to keep her baby with Elon Musk

Elon Musk and Grimes just welcomed their firstborn and they gave him a unique name.

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO previously announced that his baby with Grimes was due on Monday (May 4). On Tuesday, Musk shared a snap of him carrying the newborn.

In the photo, Musk could be seen wearing a black shirt with matching black pants. He is staring adorably at his baby.

In a tweet, Musk responded to one of his followers who asked about the gender of the baby. He said, they just welcomed a baby boy. In another post, he shared his name.

“X Æ A-12 Musk,” Musk wrote.

Many were convinced that it was the name the tech billionaire and the singer gave to their child. The unique name garnered different reactions from the netizens because it is quite difficult to read and pronounce.

“It's all fun and games until demons come out of the floor when you say it's name,” Josh French jokingly commented.

“Your kid's name must contain at least one lowercase letter, one capital letter and one number,” another added.

Several joked that Musk might have given his son a name using a password strength meter. One user showed a snap of how strong the name was when used as a password and it got 91%.

“Why the hell is this not 100%?” Cory Connor asked.

A different user joked that the symbol should not be forgotten. Another said she was surprised Musk didn’t use the ampersand. A different online user added that there should be a check box to verify that it is not a robot.

Meanwhile, another user chimed in after using the name of Musk’s newborn son for his Twitter account. “Username taken,” @emiliosan171 wrote.

Musk and Grimes announced their pregnancy in January. In an interview with Rolling Stone in March, the singer said she decided to keep her baby with Musk because she loves her boyfriend even if it meant sacrificing her freedom and body.
