Elon Musk, the modern master of science, technology and innovation, just gave a strangely unique name to his newborn baby.

A netizen, in response to Musk’s announcement, requested the 48-year-old technology entrepreneur to share a snap of him holding the baby. Luckily, the netizen’s request was granted.

Musk also replied to another netizen with an assurance that the baby and his partner, whose real name is Claire Boucher, were all good. Another curious netizen asked Musk to reveal the baby’s name, which he did. Musk named his baby X Æ A-12 Musk.

Another netizen asked Musk for the baby’s gender, wherein he replied, “boy.”

The 32-year-old musician and Musk reportedly met over Twitter. A supposed source spilled that Musk was researching the idea of Rococo Basilisk joke but Grimes already did it. The insider revealed that the Tesla CEO reached out to Grimes as soon as he found out, Page Six previously reported. Grimes reportedly said that it was the first time in three years that anyone understood the joke.

There were rumors back in 2018 that Musk and Grimes had been quietly dating. They reportedly went to Met Gala 2018 together and Grimes went to Musk’s Space X Hyperloop Pod Competition in the same year, Cosmopolitan reported.

People speculated that the pair broke up when Grimes and Musk unfollowed each other in their social media account. More speculations came thereafter when the pair started following each other again —these all happened in 2018.

Grimes, on Feb. 1, confirmed through Instagram that she was 25 weeks pregnant. She also apologized to her fans for not being able to properly promote her album via social media because of the pregnancy challenges she encountered. Notwithstanding her pregnancy situation, Grimes confirmed that her creativity was there but the physical aspect was an ordeal.

Grimes previously admitted to being “woefully ill-prepared” to the pregnancy. Now that the baby’s here, the musician will have to deal with the challenges of motherhood/parenthood. On the side note, fans are confident that she would do just fine.
