But the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has already caused confusion over the baby's name: "X Æ A-12 Musk," according to $4 from Musk himself.
While it's not clear if Musk was joking or not, many of his and Grimes' fans have interpreted the name is something of a riddle, floating their best guesses for what the string of characters means.
One Twitter user interpreted the name as "X Ash Archangel" — Æ is pronounced "ash," and "Archangel" was the internal codename for the CIA's A-12 aircraft. Musk liked the following tweet, leading people to believe it's the right guess:

Another person guessed the X related to Genesis, after the book in the Bible.

Another theory used some math to come up with the name: X is the Roman numeral for 10, J is the tenth letter of the alphabet, and if you count backwards to 12 from the letter "A," you get the letter O.

As one person pointed out, if the baby's name is "X," Musk already owns the domain name for it: in 2017, he $4, which was the website for his second-ever company.
