How do you pronounce Grimes and Elon Musk's baby's name X Æ A-12 Musk, as he appears at the Oval Office?

Mr Musk, who referred to himself arsenic an unfastened book, besides answered questions from reporters for the archetypal clip since becoming a peculiar national worker successful the Trump administration.

His son, X Æ A-Xii, was a cute distraction arsenic Mr Musk addressed the questions. He pulled faces, clung to his father's shoulders, and interrupted him galore times.

In different moments, helium besides stuck his fingers successful his dad’s ears, and copied his father’s manus gestures arsenic they stood broadside by side.

Singer and Mr Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes gave commencement to X Æ A-12 Musk connected May 2020.

Grimes explained what the sanction is – but not however to accidental it retired loud.

"X, the chartless variable. Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)." The A besides stands for 'Archangel’, her favourite song.

To effort to fig retired the nonstop pronunciation, I took to Reddit first. A hunt for "Reddit Grimes baby" returns some answers – but not all.

Here are 2 conspiracy theories from the aforesaid savvy user: "Someone suggested X Ash Archangel could beryllium shortened to 'SAshA, truthful fundamentally Sasha. It would explicate the missive X's presence. Someone other connected Twitter suggested X was abbreviated for Xavier (as successful Professor X I think), but 1 of Elon's sons already has this name."

But these came earlier the afloat explanation, truthful I had to excavation deeper into Elon's psyche.

Another Grimes follower believes this is each an elaborate hoax and they're keeping the baby's sanction connected the down-low.

They wrote, "I retrieve she said she intends to support her baby's privateness erstwhile the dumb quality astir warnymph being 'an instagram for her unborn baby' started going around. This makes maine deliberation this sanction is conscionable what she's giving the internet, positive the information you cant usage these characters successful a sanction by instrumentality successful California."

Ai is pronounced "eye" truthful that could beryllium a speedy nickname for the moment.

Then, I took to Twitter to spot what radical were saying there.

There were aggregate pronunciation videos but they weren't rather right.

Luckily, Mr Musk somewhat cleared the aerial erstwhile helium appeared connected Joe Rogan's podcast. He clarified that Æ should beryllium pronounced “Ash." He besides explained that Grimes was the mastermind down the name.

“First of all, my spouse is the 1 that, actually, mostly, came up with the name,” Mr Musk explained, adding that "she’s large astatine names.”

He said, “I mean it’s conscionable X, the missive X. And then, the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash'...and then, A-12, A-12 is my contribution.”
