Elon Musk and Grimes’s announcement on Tuesday that their newborn son would be named X Æ A-12 sparked an outpouring of bemused reactions and facetious memes online. But Grimes predicted months ago that people would make fun of the baby’s name “because it was “too avant-garde” and she was 100% correct. Musk had to be joking, right? Surely the name was poking fun at the internet’s wacky (and now, weirdly prescient) predictions about the baby’s name when Grimes revealed her pregnancy in January, right? But no — in a followup tweet, Grimes seemed to confirm that the name is real 😀
X Æ A-12: While Elon Musk’s tweet about the baby’s name was met with memes and jokes, people were only left more confused after the singer Grimes explained how the name was chosen. When people started asking about the child’s name, Musk informed his 33.7 million on Twitter that his name would be ‘X Æ A-12’. He later returned on Twitter to say the baby had been born and both mother and child are “all good.”
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and musician Grimes welcomed their first child together Tuesday, and the tech billionaire shared a photo of the newborn baby boy with the world. But the choice of name for the child, as declared by Musk, has baffled people and they’ve been coming up with memes and explanations on social media.
