As Grimes mentioned in the tweet about her son’s name, A-12 is the “precursor” to the couple’s “favorite aircraft.” But the singer called it SR-17 instead of its correct name, SR-71. Elon Musk didn’t miss a beat clarifying the Vancouver native’s error, replying to her tweet, “SR-71, but yes.” Eep.
Grimes, who was just one-day post-delivery when Musk sent out his tweet, clapped back, “I am recovering from surgery and barely alive so may my typos b forgiven but, damnit. That was meant to be profound.” Musk replied, “U r a powerful” next to a princess and fairy emoji.
The “Oblivion” singer seemed to take it in stride, tweeting, “Haha E” alongside a heart emoji.
Grimes and Musk’s back-and-forth aside, it’s important to mention their son’s name can’t appear as X Æ A-12 Musk on the birth certificate, as per California law. “In California, you can only use the ’26 characters’ of the English language in your baby name,” attorney David Glass told People. “Thus, you can’t have numbers, Roman numerals, accents, umlauts, or other symbols or emojis. Although an apostrophe, for a name like ‘O’Connor,’ is acceptable.”
Glass added, “They have an opportunity to appeal the rejection of the birth certificate application but it’s unlikely that it will be granted because, again, California … has been struggling with using symbols.”
Even if X Æ A-12 is denied birth certificate-wise, it probably won’t prevent the parents from using the unique name at home.
