Elon Musk announces the birth of his baby in the most Elon Musk way possible

Hello, little X Æ A-12 Musk.

Elon Musk and Grimes's baby boy is here, and there are pics.

Early on Tuesday, Musk posted a photo with his baby boy. "Mom & baby all good," he tweeted.

Of course, Musk wouldn't be Musk if he didn't goof around a little, so he posted this photo as well, saying you're "never too young for some ink."

And, when asked about the boy's name, Musk replied: X Æ A-12 Musk. That should cause some pronunciation issues.

One Redditor already has a theory about the name:

the name for the ligature Æ is "ash".. so in the name, it may be pronounced that way... and the Lockheed A-12 was part of the Archangel internal design effort. So maybe they're thinking: X Ash Archangel Musk

Another suggested it could be pronounced "Sascha 12."

Grimes has a song called "4ÆM", so that's where the inspiration likely came from — assuming the name is real. She currently prefers to be called c, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

The billionaire's tweets have attracted tens of thousands of likes and, of course, there are already memes.

By the way, if you haven't been keeping count, this is Elon Musk's sixth son, and his first with Grimes.
