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?
Published 5 years ago in Facepalm
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.
Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is how you pronounce X AE A-12 pic.twitter.com/jxvfzSMRL6

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.

"X Æ A-12"
"Sorry didn't catch that"
"X Æ"
"X A"
"No, X Æ"
"X E"
"No, Æ as in the ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae then A-12 like the A-road -"
