Singer Claire Elise Boucher, aka Grimes, and Tesla co-founder Elon Musk welcomed a son together on May 4, 2020, just two years after they first started dating in May 2018. Musk has five other kids – twins Griffin and Xavier and triplets Damian, Saxon, and Kai – from his previous marriage to Justine Musk.
Shortly after Musk confirmed that both Grimes and their son were in good health, he shared the little guy’s name — X Æ A-12 Musk, apparently. But is that really how it’s supposed to be pronounced? As you might imagine, the answer is complicated.
As it turns out, the moniker is a nod to the couple’s favorite things, as the singer relayed on Twitter. “X” stands for the “unknown variable,” the diphthong Æ stands for what Grimes called her “elven spelling of Ai,” and A-12 is a kind of aircraft the couple purports to enjoy, which is reportedly also known as the Archangel. Archangel also happens to be the title of Grimes’ favorite song, as she mentioned in her tweet.
But wait – that’s not all! Grimes concluded her announcement with the phrase, “metal rat.” As Business Insider noted,
“the Chinese zodiac includes both animal signs and five elements (earth, wood, water, fire, and metal), and 2020 is the year of the metal rat.”
Now that we’ve caught you up on the baby’s name, let’s fill you in on how Grimes reacted to Musk correcting her announcement. Hint: She didn’t take it too well.
As Grimes mentioned in the tweet about her son’s name, A-12 is the precursor to the couple’s favorite aircraft. But the singer called that aircraft the SR-17 instead of its correct name, which wa s the numbers flipped around. Elon Musk didn’t miss a beat clarifying the Vancouver native’s error, replying to her tweet,
“SR-71, but yes.”
Grimes, who was just one-day post-delivery when Musk sent out his tweet, clapped back,
“I am recovering from surgery and barely alive so may my typos b forgiven but, damnit. That was meant to be profound.”
Musk replied, quote, “U r a powerful” next to a princess and fairy emoji.
Grimes and Musk’s back-and-forth aside, it’s important to mention their son’s name can’t appear as X Æ A-12 Musk on the birth certificate, per California law. Attorney David Glass told People why:
“In California, you can only use the ’26 characters’ of the English language in your baby name. Thus, you can’t have numbers, Roman numerals, accents, umlauts, or other symbols or emojis. Although an apostrophe, for a name like ‘O’Connor,’ is acceptable.”
Glass added,
“They have an opportunity to appeal the rejection of the birth certificate application but it’s unlikely that it will be granted because, again, California … has been struggling with using symbols.”
Even if the name can’t be used as-is on a birth certificate, it probably won’t prevent the parents from using the unique name at home. But what is that pronunciation, exactly?. Elon Musk cleared this up during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, sharing,
“It’s just X, the letter X. And then the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘ash.’ And then A-12 is my contribution […] Archangel-12, the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever.”
This would potentially translate to “X Ash Archangel”, which would legally meet the birth certificate requirements in California.
However, Musk’s pronunciation might differ from Grimes’ interpretation, as she told a fan something different. Grimes shared on Instagram:
“It’s just X, like the letter X. Then A.I. Like how you said the letter A then I.”
Hmm.
As for who came up with the baby’s moniker? That honor went to mama Grimes. Musk gushed to Rogan,
“She’s great at names.”
Since nobody seems to agree about how this baby’s name is pronounced, let’s switch gears to another mystery – where Musk and Grimes will live with their little one. We’re curious because a few days before their baby’s arrival, Musk declared he’s selling his houses. He declared on Twitter, quote, “Will own no house.” Say what?
The tech entrepreneur said of his decision,
“Don’t need the cash. Devoting myself to Mars and Earth. Possession just weighs you down.”
Grimes wasn’t happy with Musk’s interesting mission, as he noted on Twitter,
“My gf @Grimezsz is mad at me.” Watch the video to see how Grimes Claps Back At Elon Musk For Correcting Explanation Of Son’s Name!

What was your reaction to the naming of Elon and Grimes' baby?
How does one of the smartest men alive do something so stupid?
Not a problem really – the son of these parents will hardly have to attend any school with class education ))
Grimes seems annoyingly sassy
They broke up?
That kid will be implanted with all Elons latest technology, hoping to save humanity from AI… basically a weapon.
Heisenberg
What a joke
Xai..why is your dad selling house's???
I'm starting to think that this pregnancy was an accident….
Sick!
Thankgodd for that law tho. Something California Law is doing right.
Just checking more videos to make sure it’s real. Elon, you ok?
This is all fake news. Musk did not gush on Rogan and Grimes did not clap back.
Speaking of which. I think clap back needs to go away.
Musk is a awesome dude and he's dating that ugly weird thing. Ight
Is this child an experiment of some sorts? Will he be used in the transhumanist agenda….or neurolink? Just pondering…
That his nick name will end up being Frank, Thomas, John, or Bill. Joke.
I feel like they’re trolling us. The baby has a normal name but they’re just messing with us.
It's pronounced Brandon 😂
You're basically just reading tweets from days ago.
Didn’t prince change his name to a symbol
Archangel Lucifer 12 for the 12 bloodlines
When X Æ A-12 grows up, he will probably rebel and change his name to Larry and become an accountant, lol
And this is why mothers don't trust us with naming our son's. X AE A-12 that sounds like some A I shit
Who cares!
Name a rocket that not a damn human.
Who else is watching this from mars
People don’t like change. Better get used to it. This name won’t be the last 😉
Looks so evil the lady
Tbh, how would he take his end of year exams you know?
I dont care what anyone says, this whole thing is the devil.
John. John is a good name for a boy.
Not sure what the problem is.
Some forgotten baby mama, a baby he could care less about and some talentless hack trying to find a desperate way to be different in a saturated music industry where it’s all stale and been done, which just makes this more predictable and basic pretentious stunt. Poor kid
That grimey mess has Elon hooked on Tina. How many clouds you been blowing, Elon? You are spiraling out. She is wrecking your world. Elon is broke and about to lose it all.
Evil FUX^^^^^. Do the world a favor, kill them all.
What? R2D2? Ah! A star wars fan. Makes total sense. I'm all for it.
I used to be a fan of grimes ten years ago. It was embarrassing when she went through that whole Rihanna phase, this is also embarrassing. She’s a train wreck, maybe she needs a psychiatric evaluation.
children are not accessories
Oh well soon the child will have a social insurance number and that is all the Government will think of anyway.
Oh lawdy 😂😂
Sr-71 is a spy plane and Musk is spying on us.
I think Elon Musk is smoking some crazy shiii.
It wasn't a clap back…
when rich mofos want to name their offspring after an unknown planet that supports life
I’m gonna name my kid œß€•ï
Give the child a normal name!!!!!!
