Elon Musk revealed this Thursday, during The Joe Rogan Experience program, how to pronounce the peculiar name X Æ A-12 that she gave to her newborn son.
“It was my partner who practically came up with the name,” said the founder of Tesla and SpaceX referring to Canadian singer Grimes, adding: “It’s just X, the letter X, and the ‘Æ’ is pronounced. ‘ Ash ‘, and then A-12 is my contribution. ” Musk added that A-12 means “Archangel-12“,” the coolest plane in history “.

Grimes previously explained on Twitter the particular name of his son, who was born on May 4. According to the artist, ‘X’ is “the unknown variable”, ‘Æ’ corresponds to the “elven spelling of Ai (love and / or artificial intelligence)”, while ‘A-12’ is Lockheed’s “forerunner of SR-17”, the “favorite plane” of the couple. “No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but not violent,” Grimes described the aircraft. In addition, he added that ‘A’ also corresponds to the title of his favorite song, ‘Archangel’.
However, it seems that it will not be so easy for both of them to realize their unusual idea, since in California (USA), where the baby was born, it is prohibited from including numbers or symbols in children’s names.
According to state law, names can only be formed with the 26 alphabetic characters of the English language, something that makes it impossible to use the name chosen by the couple for their first child.
