    How DO you pronounce X Æ A-12? Social media is baffled by how to say the name of Elon Musk and Grimes' new son - amid speculation the boy is named after a secret CIA spy plane
    • The unusual choice immediately had fans guessing what it might mean
    • They also discussed how to pronounce the series of letters and numbers
    • Some said the Æ would be pronounced 'Ash' and pointed to the X in SpaceX
    • It appears the name may have also been partially inspired by one of the songs from 32-year-old Grimes', real name Claire Boucher, 32, last album - 4ÆM
    • Others noted the Lockheed A-12 was built for the Central Intelligence Agency
    • It was not immediately clear if new dad Musk was having fun with his followers in announcing the name but others joked it would be 'tough on the teacher'

    Not sure how to pronounce that, but my guess is he learns to say “FU” to mom and dad pretty quickly for sticking him with that “name”.

    FU is probably his middle name.

    Well my daddy left home when I was three
    And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
    Just this old Tesla and a billion dollars
    Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
    But the meanest thing that he ever did
    Was before he left, he went and named me "X Æ A-12"

    Sounds like the name that would be given to a star.

    You might as well send your kid to school tarred and feathered. Freaking idiot.
