The tech heartthrob, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, shares his first 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐬 with his girlfriend Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher.
In his new snapshot, Elon, 49, can be seen using one hand to talk on the phone and the other arm to hold his 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, who was tugging on his shirt.
‘The Second Last Kingdom’: Elon Musk warmed the hearts of his fans this weekend by tweeting a rare snapshot of his nine-month-old son X Æ A-XII
Elon, who last month surpassed Jeff Bezos to become the world’s richest man, cryptically captioned the post: “The second last kingdom.”
It is not known whether he was making a joking reference to The Last Kingdom, a BBC programme based on the historical fiction novel of the same name by Bernard Cornwell.
Elon has shared some of his entertainment tastes on Twitter before, including his love for the 2015 Bollywood historical romance, Bajirao Mastani.
When Grimes first gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to her 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 last May, it was initially announced that they had named her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 X Æ A-12.
Side by side: The tech heartthrob, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, shares his first video with his girlfriend Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher.
However, they later discovered that the California constitution only allows legal names to contain characters from the English alphabet.
As a result, they eventually changed the name to X Æ A-XII, replacing the Hindu-Arabic numerals ’12’ with Roman numerals meaning the same number.
Elon, who shares five children with first wife Justine Wilson and was married twice to second wife Talulah Riley, explained how to pronounce X Æ A-XII.
To clarify: Shortly after the publication of the article “The Last of Us Part 2” was published…
Shortly after his son’s name was revealed, he appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience and shared that his newest son’s name is spoken verbally: ‘X Ash A Twelve.’
He said Grimes “made up the name,” except for “A-12,” which was “my contribution” and was inspired by the Lockheed aircraft “Archangel-12, the precursor to the SR-71, the coolest airplane ever. It’s true.”
Elon confesses: “I think it’s better to be older and have a child. I appreciate it more. Yes, because babies are wonderful.”
Mother and Father: Said Grimes “made up the name” except for “A-12,” which was “my contribution” and was inspired by the Lockheed “Archangel-12” aircraft.
