Elon Musk Shares a New Photo of Baby X on Twitter

From Harper's BAZAAR

  • Elon Musk shared a new photo on Twitter of him holding his son, X AE A-XII.

  • The Tesla cofounder wrote the caption to the photo in German; it translates to, "The baby cannot use a spoon yet."

Elon Musk is sharing more of baby X with the world. The Tesla cofounder took to Twitter late last night to share a new photo of him and his son with quite the head-scratching message.

"Das baby kann noch keinen löffel benutzen," the post, written in German, read. It translates to, "The baby cannot use a spoon yet."

In the photo, Musk can be seen cradling his baby boy while wearing a gray graphic T-shirt, button-down oxford, and bright blue paisley bandana presumably as a face cover. Baby X, however, is donning a much simpler ensemble, rocking an olive-hued, age-appropriate onesie.

Musk and his girlfriend, Grimes, made headlines back in May when they announced their newborn son's full name, X Æ A-12 (now X AE A-XII due to California naming regulations). The "Violence" singer also utilized Twitter weeks back to explain the meaning behind her firstborn's highly unique name.

"X, the unknown variable. Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)," explained Grimes. "A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent." She concluded that the final A stands for "Archangel"—one of her favorite songs—and that the number 12 represents the Chinese zodiac cycle's year of the Metal Rat, the year baby X was born.
