Elon Musk and Grimes have chosen a very unconventional name for their newborn son: X Æ A-12.

On Monday, after the Tesla CEO announced the birth of his child with the Canadian singer, a fan tweeted, “We need the name we literally need it.”

Musk, 48, responded, “X Æ A-12 Musk,” with no explanation. He also shared two photos of the newborn — one with a filter of tattoos on his face.

Even Rat Musk would be a better name than that.

Poor kid.

Tell me those things aren’t real !!!! No, I haven’t read the article yet. Usually I do, but I didn’t this time.

Then I will withhold the answer until you read the article.......

a filter of tattoos It's a stupid cell phone/social network thing. You can distort an image and/or put a "filter" over it. The tattoos would be a filter laid over the pic when they post it to the web.

That is not the kid’s name, it’s the password for Musk’s Tinder account. BTW, Grimes is a fiercely average looking woman.

It’s a filter to change the appearance. Sort of like our media filters news.

Couldn't he have just waited a bit to find an alien life form in space?

[nickcarraway]

I thought he did.

CONGRATULATIONS to both parents. I was kind of negative on Elon Musk (from a few articles). After watching a couple of Rogan interviews with him I’m neutral now to positive. He is an interesting person and does have a good sense of humor.

Oh! Thanks for clearing that up. I think I need to quit drinking coffee all day long. Makes me cranky. :-)

The AA-12 is a shotgun.

Is that thing even female?

Based on that photo, I am guessing he has.

It was the predecessor to the SR-71.

There is one on static display at the Blackbird Air Park in Palmdale.

He can afford a better looking Klingon...
