32-year-old Canadian singer, Grimes has confirmed that she and partner Elon Musk have named their newborn son, X Æ A-12.
The singer, who gave birth to the couple’s first child on Monday, took to Twitter to reveal the meaning of their son’s bizarre name.
X [represents] the unknown variable,’ Grimes wrote, referring to the first letter of X Æ A-12’s name.
“Æ is the Elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence),” she stated.
The final symbol in the name, Grimes explained, is a reference the A-12 aircraft built for the CIA in the 1960s.
“A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defences, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent,’ the star stated.
“Grimes also added that A additionally stands for ‘Archangel’,” her favourite song’.
She ended her tweet by sharing emojis of crossed swords and a mouse – writing ‘Metal rat’
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 48, announced the birth of X Æ A-12 on Tuesday.
He shared a photo of himself holding the newborn in his arms and wrote:
“Mom and baby all good.”
