I haven't found a thread about this yet so I thought
I should share this glorious news with you all.
Let's all welcome X Æ A-12 Musk to the world.



Edit: Far be it from me to criticize annyones
choice in their baby's name, but the SR 71 was
absolutely shit in any type of combat situation.

Isn't that something the parents can decide irregardless of their marital status?
Depends on a country, I think.

In Germany, government agency wouldn't let the pair pick up first name like that (I know people who struggled to name daughter Mickey Margoux, I'm likely misspeling the name)

Why can't celebrities pick normal names for their children? It's always some goofy shit that would fit better on a dog.

Æ isn't pronounced Ai wtf


It was a spy plane wtf are you talking about?
It's legendary and literally outran missiles.
Exactly. It was not build for combat but rather
as a high altitude reconnaissance plane.
Claiming it was great in battle is nonsensical
since the only thing it could do was to 'run away'
from any possible engagement.
Don't get me wrong, it is an amazing machine and
by far my favorite plane ever.

Boredom and/or drugs?

I’ll give mom some benefit of the doubt here and read her claim as “highly useful in military scenarios.” Addled as the woman is, I think even she must realize “no weapons” cannot be reconciled with “great in battle.”
 
What's your call sign, son?

X Æ A-12

You can call me X

i mean the guy is a famous billionaire, it's not like Elon Musk's kid wasn't going to be singled out "in school" or whatever

dude is so rich his kid doesn't even need to go to school.

Fair enough.

Welp, this kid gonna have it rough, and he already had Grimes and Elon for parents.

On the bright side this name is going to save us all by crashing the computers at the NSA.

I'm pretty sure the kid is going to be alright. As alright as
one can be when your dad is a billionaire meme lord.

This kid will be depressed and a drug addict and even with his father being a billionaire he is going to be unhappy as fuck with this decision.

If there was an award for most ridiculous baby names, this would be a strong contender to win.

I don't know, there are some right assholes out there when it comes to Baby names. I read this one back at the time and I've never forgotten it: -


A nine-year-old girl whose parents named her Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii was put into court guardianship in New Zealand so that her name could be changed.

In his written ruling, he said names such as Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were prohibited by registration officials. Others that were permitted included twins called Benson and Hedges, other children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and, the judge added, "tragically, Violence". Another mother tried to use text language for her child's name, he said.

Honestly reading stuff like that makes me think we should have enforced sterilisation and the necessity for an IQ bench-mark to be passed before you're let out of the program. Need to breed the stupid out of people, if we're ever going to get off this extinction event waiting to happen.

I mean he’ll have money, but that’s pretty low on the totem of what kids need to be healthy and well adjusted.
 
From Reddit sleuths:

someone on twitter asked Elon if the baby's names was "X Ash Archangel" and he liked the tweet.

X=X
Æ = Ash (Æ is is an a-e ligature named ash)
A-12 = Archangel (The aircraft was designated A-12, the 12th in a series of internal design efforts for "Archangel", the aircraft's internal code name).

X-Ash-A? That's almost "Sasha", aka. Alexander

X-Ai-A according to grimes. aka Shaia.




Edit: What's your name? Algorithm.
