Labiba Nayeem Khan : XÆ A-12 Musk is the newborn son of Elon Musk and his partner Claire “Grimes” Boucher. Some people find this name too creative to be legally acceptable. X Æ A-12 was born on May 4th 2020. Laura Wattenberg, an author who writes books on baby names told Slate magazine in an interview that the name has to get through legal barriers, since names in California and several other states have to be a combination of letters from the English alphabet, which otherwise becomes difficult to type, thus unacceptable in any form of database. However, Boucher has made the name official an took to twitter to give a rather confounding explanation for the name. “X is an 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.”  Sources : Futurism.com, edition.cnn.com
