It is always lovely to see our favorite celebrities bringing new life into their family and sharing that moment with their fans and followers worldwide. However, in a bid to be more trendy or edgy, most of the celebrities tend to go overboard. And sometimes… they go just beyond ridiculous. This includes making, often times, dumb quotes, weird outfits, and what not. But Musk and his wife have outdone everyone this time. They named their child X Æ A-12!?
No, this is not a typo, but is actually the name of tech billionaire Elon Musk and musician Grimes’s first child.
The couple were blessed with a baby boy on Tuesday and the whole world joined into congratulating them. The joyous moment on Twitter turned into total confusion when one of the followers asked the SpaceX and Tesla CEO the name of their newborn baby.
Elon simply replied that he would name the child X Æ A-12.
X Æ A-12 Musk

What is it with celebrities and weird baby names? First it was Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s ‘Blue Ivy’. And then came Kanye and Kim Kardashian’s child ‘North West.’ Now, even these names sound normal in comparison!
Suffice to say, the internet exploded with memes over the new name, check it out:
Grimes: What’s that sound?
Elon Musk: It’s the baby. He’s crying

Many fans interpreted the name as something of a riddle. One Twitter user went onto interpret it as “X Ash Archangel.”

Even after Grimes explained how the name was chosen, it didn’t help as people got even more confused.
•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 🤍

It seems like regular names have become somewhat outdated, especially in Hollywood and California. But seeing as even the concept of biological gender identity is no longer relevant there, we shouldn’t be surprised.
