Elon Musk took to Twitter last week to confirm the birth of his son, with songstress girlfriend Grimes. This is their first child. After a fan asked the 48-year-old to share a picture of the baby, writing "We really need to see a picture of the baby!! Please do share," Musk proceeded to post a picture of the baby asleep in a blanket, covered with fake "tattoos", using a camera phone filter. <img class="size-full wp-image-12595652" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/05/a28694c9-screen-shot-2020-05-05-at-16.01.05.png" alt="" width="584" height="659" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Twitter / Elon Musk]] Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, gave birth to the baby boy on Monday, with Musk revealing the news to his 33.6 million Twitter followers by writing: "Mom & baby all good." He also disclosed that the baby's name is, "X Æ A-12." The unusual nature of the name has prompted a flurry of tweets regarding its pronunciation. <a href="https://twitter.com/flcnhvy/status/1257538193911623681" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">One Twitter user</a> has suggested that it is pronounced, "X Ash Archangel". [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/flcnhvy/status/1257538193911623681?s=20]] The tweet, which explained the origins of the name, was liked by Musk, implying it could be correct. The Twitter user says that the name alludes to the Scandinavian alphabet, in which Æ is pronounced “ash”. Per <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/elon-musk-baby-name-pronounce-how-say-x-ae-a-12-grimes-child-a9499606.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Independent</a>, A-12 is known to be a reference to the Lockheed A-12, a CIA aircraft codenamed Archangel. And <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/elon-musk-says-human-language-will-be-obsolete-in-10-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">during his recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast</a>, Musk clarified the pronunciation of "X Æ A-12", saying "It’s just X, the letter X, and then the Æ is pronounced ash, and A-12 is my contribution." Now, Grimes has shared an adorable video to her Instagram story of the baby snoozing on his father's chest. Check out the video below: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/uKnN7UEa-sKUnNGKf.mp4||uKnN7UEa]] Elon's mom, Maye Musk, also recently shared a picture of her son looking lovingly at his new arrival, in which shereferred to the little one as 'X' in the sweet post. "X, welcome to this world. You are so adorable, Maye tweeted. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/mayemusk/status/1259297517776171008]] I think "X" is probably a lot easier for all of us to pronounce. Musk and Grimes have been together for over two years, having made their public debut as a couple at the 2018 Met Gala. We are urging all of our readers to adhere to the advice from their respective governments and medical bodies, and practice social distancing and self-isolation where required. Together, we will beat this.
