It seems that crazy ideas that go crazy are not strange for Canadian businessman Elon Musk - founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX - as these crazy ideas have traditionally been related to the nature of his work.
However, this time, a passion for all that was strange led him to name his son a stranger. No one yet knows how to pronounce it, and it is not certain that he will be allowed to document this in official government departments.
Musk and his wife, the pop star Grimes, gave their newborn baby the name (X Æ A-12), and the name, according to the couple's explanations, is inspired by the A-12 spy plane that was manufactured for the CIA during the Cold War. To fly at 2,000 miles per hour, as singer Grimes interpreted the meaning behind her baby's unique name in a tweet she wrote on Twitter.

Decode X Æ A-12,
Grimes explained the meaning of the name and explained the meaning of the letters, pointing out that the letter "X" means the unknown variable.
Meanwhile, "Æ" is an acronym for Artificial Intelligence, and translates to love in several languages, such as Japanese.
Then the 32-year-old star indicated that part of her son's name was referring to the couple's favorite plane, adding that "A-12" = an introduction to our SR-17 favorite plane.
Grimes ended her tweet by revealing that the letter "A" in the name also represented angels, whom she described as her favorite song.
Musk responded to Grimes' tweet, explaining that their favorite plane was the SR-71 Blackbird, which is capable of flying above a high altitude, whose predecessor was the CIA's spy A-12 spy plane.
Although she was adequate in explaining the name enough, she did not inform the followers how to pronounce the name.
(X Æ A-12) is the first child of the couple, as Musk (48 years old) has five other children (Griffin and Xavier twins, Damien, Saxon and Kay twins) from a previous marriage, all of them the product of artificial insemination.

California laws reject the name and
David Glass, family attorney, told Forbes that he did not believe the name would be legally acceptable, because California - where the couple resides - only allowed 26 letters of the English alphabet to be used in legal children's names, without numbers Or punctuation, except for the '('), Pronunciation, Emoji, or non-English characters such as Romanian.
He noted that if Grimes writes the name of her newborn in the hospital, it is possible that the state will reject the document, although Musk and Grimes will be able to appeal the decision.
Even if the child gets a valid birth certificate, a Social Security number will not be issued, which is the number that no American citizen can live on American soil without, and he will not be eligible for a passport.
Eccentric Musk
What we see madness, may become distinctive features of unique personalities, and without a doubt, Elon Musk possesses special capabilities that made him one of the most successful businessmen in the world, starting from the dream of establishing the Tesla Electric Vehicle Company and founding SpaceX It is the first in the world to organize space trips for civilians, and to establish small-scale ships and vehicles for governments and private companies.
Among the most prominent companies he founded was Boring Company, a company that is different in most of its ideas, as the "boring" company sold more than twenty thousand flamethrower pistols, as well as a street tunnel to alleviate the hustle, but in an innovative way.
Musk, who celebrates his failure before his success, was not ashamed when his "Cyber Turk" windows were shattered while he was launching to the world in November last year, despite announcing the truck was bulletproof, but he met the situation with a smile, and calmly said, "There are other opportunities for improvement." ".
The strange thing is that the businessman - who avoids answering phone calls for fear of wasting time - uses a pseudonym in his e-mail, so that no one close to him in the labor department knows him.
He also finds enough time to release songs, such as his first song for the beloved gorilla "Harambi" at the Cincinnati Zoo, whose news of her death sparked the sadness of many, and his latest song "Doubts Your Energy", which topped the list of the top listeners on "Sound Cloud", Musk described it as a great achievement that he will add to his autobiography.
