4. “X”
In May 2020, Elon then announced the birth of his son on Twitter, whom he welcomed with his girlfriend, singer Grimes. Their son is called X Æ A-Xii, known as ‘X’
5. “Y”
In March 2022, it was revealed in a Vanity Fair feature that Elon and Grimes had welcomed a daughter in December 2021 by a surrogate, whom they’ve called Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, shortened to ‘Y’.
Also, they have a different way of pronouncing this both son and daughter as proved in an interview:
What Elon Stated: “So, X is just the letter X, Æ is pronounced as Ash. And, A-12 is my contribution and it is just pronounced as A-12.” Therefore, the final pronunciation of the name is, “X Ash A Twelve.”
What Grimes stated:
“It’s just X, like the letter X,” Grimes wrote. “Then A.I. Like how you said the letter A then I.”
