Grimes is sharing the meaning behind her and Elon Musk's newborn son's name: X Æ A-12.

Musk, 48, confirmed the birth of the baby and shared a photo to Twitter on Monday, revealing his son's moniker when asked by a fan.

On Tuesday, Grimes, 32, took to Twitter to explain the baby's unique name, breaking it down piece by piece.

"X, the unknown variable," the singer wrote first, adding an emoji of two crossing swords. "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," she continued, adding a white heart emoji. "(A=Archangel, my favorite song) (metal rat)."

For emphasis, she added another sword emoji alongside a mouse.

In a snap shared to Musk's Twitter Tuesday morning, the couple's son appears to be sleeping while an Instagram filter placed tattoos around his eyes and forehead.

The baby is Grimes' first child. Musk shares five sons from a previous marriage. Musk's first son reportedly died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks old back in 2002.

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, discussed her pregnancy in March with Rolling Stone. The musician told the magazine she was expecting her child to be nocturnal, as the baby moved "only" at night during her pregnancy.

Grimes and Musk have been dating since 2018.

Okay, so it's not a joke.:shock:

But I say, good on them. Modern times needs a modern name. Plus all the kids that had hypocritical biblical names in my school, like David and John and Peter were snot-nosed little c*nts

In the type of school he'll be attending, I doubt that.

The tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and the musician Grimes have changed the unusual and largely unpronounceable name of their firstborn child. But anyone hoping that X Æ A-12 might be replaced by something a little more conventional is going to be disappointed.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Grimes confirmed that the baby formerly known as X Æ A-12 would now be known as X Æ A-Xii.

Grimes gave no explanation for the change to using roman numerals, but later responded to a post asking if the alteration was made to comply with a California law that holds only the 26 letters of the alphabet can be used for child names.

“Roman numerals. Looks better tbh,” she wrote.

The couple appeared to have been at odds over how to interpret X Æ A-12 from the outset. The musician, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, previously explained that Æ was her “elven spelling” of AI (for artificial intelligence) and “X” stood for “the unknown variable”.

“It’s just X, like the letter X. Then AI. Like how you said the letter A then I,” wrote Grimes on Thursday in response to a query on Instagram.

But Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, told the podcast host Joe Rogan a different story: “I mean it’s just X, the letter X. And then the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash’… and then A-12. A-12 is my contribution.”

Musk already had five children – Griffin and Xavier and triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai – as well as a son, Nevada, who died as an infant. He credited his partner for the creative leap.

“First of all, my partner is the one that, actually, mostly, came up with the name,” he said. “Yeah, she’s great at names.”
