Elon Musk and Grimes have chosen an unusual name for their newborn son (ANGELA WEISS)<\/i><\/p>\n
Los Angeles (AFP) – Fans hoping for clarity and perhaps some pronunciation tips were left floundering Wednesday after Elon Musk’s girlfriend, the musician Grimes, explained their newborn son’s name — X \u00c6 A-12.<\/p>\n
Musk, the outspoken Tesla chief, announced the birth of the couple’s first child earlier this week, before Grimes broke down the unusual moniker.<\/p>\n
“X, the unknown variable. \u00c6, my elven spelling of Ai (love &\/or Artificial intelligence). A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft),” she wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
“A” also stands for “Archangel, my favorite song,” she added.<\/p>\n
Musk, the 48-year-old CEO of SpaceX, gently corrected Grimes on Twitter to say the plane was an SR-71 — a Cold War spy aircraft. <\/p>\n
“I am recovering from surgery and barely alive so may my typos b forgiven,” she joked in reply.<\/p>\n
Registering the name in their home state of California may create some legal challenges as non-alphabetic characters are not allowed by law.<\/p>\n
Musk, who has been dating Grimes since 2018, already had five sons, and has been divorced three times — twice from the same woman.<\/p>\n
Grimes, 32, whose real name is Claire Boucher, announced she was pregnant in January.<\/p>\n
The couple made waves with their first public appearance together at the Met Gala in 2018, surprising both the music and business worlds. Grimes wore a choker shaped like the Tesla logo, demonstrating their relationship status.<\/p>\n
Musk, known for his vaulting ambition and brash demeanor, made news last week in a Twitter message saying Tesla’s stock was overvalued, sending shares of the electric carmaker tumbling.<\/p>\n
