There have been a lot of questions surrounding what Elon Musk decided to name his recently-born child. X Æ A-12 Musk came into this world on of all days, May 4th, 2020. A convenient date for the child of one of the world’s top minds in space travel and engineering. In a Joe Rogan podcast recently released, Elon explains the origins behind this name. He says that the “X” derives from his love for the X-men trilogy, the “Æ” is pronounced “Ash,” and the “A-12” comes from his favorite plane, the A-12 Warthog, which is a combat airplane equipped with a 30mm mini-gun at its head. For me personally, I love everything about this name because it is composed of things he loves and I love when a name, however ridiculous, is rooted in some type of meaning. I assume that Elon will probably call his child “Ash” for brevity’s sake.
