As reported yesterday, Elon Musk and Grimes welcomed a new baby boy. After their chosen name for the child, which is X Æ A-12, was revealed, it sparked tons of memes and discussions on Twitter. To help clear things up, Grimes went to twitter to breakdown the name for everyone curious about the meaning.
Unfortunately, the meaning behind the name is more confusing than the actual name. This is what Grimes wrote:
“X, the unknown variable
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
+ (A=Archangel, my favorite song) (metal rat).”
Hopefully, that clears things up for you.
