You wouldn't expect anything less from Tesla founder Elon Musk as he welcomes his baby boy with his partner Grimes (real name Claire Elise Boucher).

On Monday, a fan asked the inventor about the news on the baby to which he replied, “A few hours away,” and then later, “Mom and baby are all good.”

Mom & baby all good

A little later, Elon confirmed that the baby is a boy and even shared a photo of him holding the baby.

“A pic of you holding the baby would break the internet… please share one,” asks a Twitter user.

He then obliged and even answered a question about the baby's name, saying it's “X Æ A-12 Musk.”

For her part, Grimes confirmed the name and even explained what each character symbolizes.

She wrote, “X is the unkown variable, Æ is my elven spelling of 'artificial intelligence', A-12 is the precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft), and A is Archangel, my favorite song.”

•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 🤍

It is still not clear if the name is a joke or not. Guess we have to wait for the official name announcement.

For now, let's all welcome X Æ A-12 Musk.
