Elon Musk corrects Grimes on explanation of their son's name -- and she has the perfect comeback!
While the baby name announcement sent Twitter into a frenzy as fans tried to figure out if Musk was joking and, if not,, Grimes stepped in to explain how they came up with the truly unique moniker in the first place.
Seemingly confirming that their child's name is in fact X Æ A-12, Grimes said each portion and character had a special significance. According to Grimes, X stands for"the unknown variable," while Æ is"my elven spelling of Ai , while the A-12 refers to an aircraft which is the"precursor to SR-17 . No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent."•X, the unknown variable ⚔️•A-12=precursor to SR-17 . No weapons, no defenses, just speed.
However, when it comes to how to actually pronounce the name, Grimes offered no suggestions. One fan suggested that the name could be pronounced"X Ash Archangel" -- as Æ is a typographical character referred to as ash. He also gushed over the mother of his newborn son, tweeting that Grimes was"powerful."
