Everyone's Trolling Elon Musk for Naming his Son 'X Æ A-12'

Maybe Elon Musk named his kid after a rocket ship because he's planning to yeet him into space one day?

If celebrities are having a competition for inventing weird baby names, Elon Musk and Grimes just won with X Æ A-12.

Their son was born last night and already trolls have jumped at the chance to make fun of the kid for having such a bizarre name and for being raised by patently insane parents.

If you thought you got bullied bad in school, consider that this kid's less than a day old and he's already getting rekt.

Last night, Elon Musk's girlfriend Grimes gave birth to their son, who Elon claimed will be named X Æ A-12.


The bonkers name choice isn't surprising, considering Musk is a huge nerd and Grimes looks like a poorly rendered video game character, but it's already got people trolling the baby for his unfortunately goofy parents.






For reference, this is how Grimes announced her pregnancy:

Musk got in on the fun too. When someone asked him to share a photo of his baby, he made sure to put a facial tattoo filter on the little guy before sending.



In case you're curious how to pronounce X Æ A-12, most believe it's spoken as a series of references.


The 'X' could refer to Professor Xavier from X-Men, 'Æ' is a mathematical symbol called 'ash,' and 'A-12' is the technical name for an aircraft made by Lockheed Martin in the '60s better known as Archangel.


So the name is likely: Xavier (or just X) Ash Archangel.






Musk has five other sons with progressively weird names—Nevada Alexander, Damian, Griffin, Xavier, Saxon, and Kai—but none of those come close to X Æ A-12.









If this becomes a trend, people are gonna start picking up fax machine user manuals to look for baby names.
