Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, surprised everyone by making an adorable appearance during a Tucker Carlson interview with his father. Known for his unconventional name, the four-year-old introduced himself by pronouncing his own name, leaving many baffled at how to repeat it accurately. Musk affectionately referred to him as his “mini-me” and even called him by his nickname, “X.”
The curious moment came when X sat on Musk’s lap and added his innocent charm to the serious conversation. Carlson asked about his name, and while X confidently answered, it was unclear if he pronounced it correctly. Musk later shared insights into the name’s meaning, explaining its mix of mathematical and linguistic origins, with “Æ” representing artificial intelligence and love, and “A-12” referencing a favorite aircraft.
This isn’t the first time X Æ A-Xii has captured public attention. His name, a mix of creativity from both Musk and Grimes, has been explained differently by each parent. Grimes describes the name as a blend of simplicity and Elven influence, while Musk emphasizes its unique pronunciation involving “Ash.”
Fans and viewers found the interaction delightful, adding a lighter moment to Musk’s usual discussions. The episode reminded audiences that, even amid his eccentricity, Musk remains a doting father with a flair for the unconventional.
