Elon Musk has just announced the birth of his baby boy.
The Tesla CEO took to Twitter to reveal that Grimes had gone into labor and affirmed that both mother and child are well. Musk has also revealed the supposed name of the baby in a tweet: “X Æ A-12 Musk.”
It is currently unclear if Musk is joking or being cryptic with the spelling of his son’s name. However, the unique spelling has many questioning on how it should be pronounced, with one Twitter user suggesting, “X Ash Archangel.”
Some suggested that the Æ ligature should be pronounced “Ash” and pointed the X to the one in SpaceX. Others noted that A-12 references Lockheed A-12, a CIA aircraft codenamed Archangel.
Other social media users started poking fun at the baby’s name, stating that it would be “tough on the teacher.” Some Twitter users tried to decipher it too, but it was all too confusing. One user joked, “Musk: We name our baby X Æ A-12. Midwife: Sir our bracelet printer won't print that. Musk: Let me fix that for you, have this. Midwife: Sir that is a submarine.”
Another user straight up said that the baby’s name is “Rachel.” Read more hilarious responses below.

X for SpaceX, AE for After Earth and A-12 for the original SR-71 designation which was the first reusable vehicle to go to space.
