Elon Musk and his partner, Canadian musician Grimes became parents to a new baby boy on Monday. When Twitterati asked the CEO of Space X and Tesla to share the name of the little one, Musk tweeted that he would be called X Æ A-12 Musk.
However, it is not clear that the kid would be called that.
Musk shared an image of him holding the newborn on Twitter.

Musk, who is known to tweet funny memes, might be serious about his baby's name after all.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher shared the meaning of the name on Twitter.
•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 🤍

Twitterati in the meantime, are speculating that the string of characters he tweeted is a riddle with a hidden meaning. One person said it stands for "X Ash Archangel," which Musk liked on Twitter. Others guessed the X relates to the Bible book Genesis or thought the name stood for "Jao."
As per a CNet report, the couple might name the baby Geoff Musk.
