In France, more specifically in Brittany, parents had to take numerous legal actions to have the tilde on the first name Fañch validated by civil status. How will California civil status react when Elon Musk comes to declare his son's first name? X Æ A-12.

Known for his sense of provocation and his eccentricities, Elon Musk, 48, had already had five boys (twins and triplets) from his first marriage: Damian, Griffin, Xavier, Saxon and Kai.
