Grimes posted a video of Elon Musk holding baby X Æ A-12 Musk

Grimes and Elon Musk welcomed their baby a week ago, and they win the prize for Dumbest Baby Name of 2020. At first I thought their baby name was a joke, but as the week wore on, they were completely serious. They named their baby boy X Æ A-12 Musk. Little X was born in California, which has strict rules about baby names – parents can only use the 26-letter alphabet, nothing alphanumeric, and no accents or umlauts or Æs. It didn’t matter, Grimes and Elon are still insisting that their child is named THAT. But they can’t even agree about how to pronounce the kid’s name. Elon said the name is pronounced: Ex Ash A-Twelve. Grimes said the name is pronounced: “It’s just X, like the letter X. Then A.I. Like how you said the letter A then I.” So according to her, the baby is Ex A-Eye A-Twelve. How f–king stupid.

Meanwhile, Grimes posted a video of Elon with the baby on her IG Stories:

Cute. I’m starting to wonder if all of these Elon Musk-baby headlines are a massive distraction from all of the shady sh-t he’s doing with Tesla. He threatened to move Tesla’s production from California unless the state allowed him to reopen his plant. Then this week, he just went ahead and reopened the Tesla plant, which is defying the current lockdown orders in the county/state.

And finally, Gwyneth Paltrow dunked on Elon and Grimes’ baby name:

    They are both aholes and no amount of cute baby pics is going to change that.

  2. Jules says:

    leave it to goopy to make this all about her, as usual.

    • Hollz says:

      I can’t stand Goop, but her tweet actually made me laugh. I appreciate she can make a joke out of herself (which I didn’t think she could!)

    • Züri says:

      I made the same comment on a different site. She’s always got to be the origin of everything from the wellness movement (which has been around since the 19th century) to unusual baby names. She seems to forgot that long before Apple there was Zowie, Dweezil, Moon Unit and Pilot Inspektor, among others.

  3. Ariel says:

    She is going to be so damn shocked when he gets bored with her, and turns into a mean, greedy snake who fucks her over in PR and child support.
    The rest of us, will not be surprised.

    Elon’s going to pat that poor little baby into space at the rate he’s going. Heavy handed and clueless with a new born. What a dumbass.

    • Miss Grace Jones says:

      You’d think he’d have some kind of a clue seeing as he has 50-11 other kids.

      • TyrantDestroyed says:

        I said something similar in the last post and his P.R. agent who has been super active here corrected me right away saying he was a super hands-on dad. So who knows 😆

    • Ellesma says:

      Came to comment the same. Good lord. What a careless way to pat a newborn.

    • Arch says:

      LOL, he had/has a nanny MANAGER to manage all the nannies he had for his first five kids. This is probably the first time he’s held a baby for more than 30 seconds.

    My local news reported that Elon gets $700million bonus if he meets certain production goals by end of year. So employees are expendable in this case, at least that’s what his behavior says to me.

  6. Hollz says:

    I doubt they’ve actually named the baby X-ash- whatever. It’s a publicity stunt, at least in part to distract from him reopening Tesla.

  7. Ashley says:

    I hate that Met photo. She just looks so so dirty and ill dressed for such an event. Like she picked up her dress at Hot Topic. I’m sure the whole thing is pretentious, but she could have put some effort into it.

    That being said I read some article the other day that mentioned that they have a very weird relationship. They are always on and off and barely spend time together. It certainly made the whole “I posted wrong because I had a csection” thing into light. I’m sure Elon is barely around and Grimes is just some girl who had his kid and he’ll do right but they are by no means the next Taylor and Burton.

    It also makes Grimes seem kind of pathetic. Dating Elon was already weird, having a check baby was kind of a low, but being Elon’s baby Momma makes it seem like she’s just looking to be cared for. Art chicks aren’t supposed to care about money right? It’s all about the art? So why is Grimes playing one from the Golddiger’s handbook? This whole Elon thing ruined her as an artist for me.

  8. Liz version 700 says:

    He is such a jackass. He should be made to pay for all of his employees medical bills if they get Covid 19 and charged with negligent homicide for any who pass.

  9. Sportlady20 says:

    I laughed so hard yesterday at the podcast where Kaiser called the assholes. They are such assholes. He’s out not social distancing when he has a newborn at home. That & his lack of regard for human life. I can’t with him.

  10. what's inside says:

    Is Helena Bonham-Carter the mother of Grimes?

  11. Ana says:

    He will be baby copy/paste in my mind because there is no way anyone is typing that name on their keyboard on their own free will over and over again.

  12. Arch says:

    Plenty of states would bend over backwards to accommodate Musk and his manufacturing plant. (With the collapse of global supply chains / globalisation, local manufacturing is gonna be a huge thing, in addition.) California will slap him with a fine at the very worst.
