The couple had actually named their son as X Æ A-Xii, but had to change it to X Æ A-12 due to a Californian law that prohibits Indo-Arabic numerals in names. Musk and Grimes welcomed their first child together in May. Later, they explained the meaning and how to pronounce the name. Grimes explained that X stood for, 'the unknown variable' while AE refers to the 'elven spelling of Ai,' meaning 'love &/or Artificial intelligence. A-12 stands for the 'precursor to SR-17, which is the couple's favourite aircraft because it has 'no weapons, no defences, just speed'.
