  • While Elon Musk is known being a tech giant and is now at the forefront of the US Department of Government Efficiency, the billionaire has 13 children.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has a unique approach to naming his children, often choosing names that reflect his interests in science, technology, and even science fiction. His first child with musician Grimes, born in May 2020, was named X Æ A-12, later changed to X Æ A-XII due to legal naming restrictions in California. The name combines various elements: "X" represents the unknown variable, "Æ" is the Elvish script for "AI" (Artificial Intelligence), and "A-12" refers to the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, an aircraft Musk admires. Their second child, born in December 2021, was named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, with "Exa" referencing computing power, "Dark" symbolizing the unknown, and "Sideræl" relating to sidereal time, which is timekeeping based on the stars. Musk's naming conventions continue to spark public interest and discussion, reflecting his futuristic and unconventional outlook.
