Grimes and Musk had a son in May 2020. Originally named X Æ A-12, the child, whom they call X, had to have his name officially changed to X Æ A-Xii in order to be in line with California laws about birth certificates.

“First of all, my partner’s the one that mostly came up with the name,” he said. “It’s just X, the letter X, and then the ‘Æ’ is pronounced, ‘Ash,’ and then, ‘A-12’ is my contribution.”
He and Grimes split in September 2021, only to get back together.
Elon Musk and singer Grimes welcomed a baby girl named Exa Dark Sideræl with the help of a surrogate in December 2021. Grimes, whose birth name is Claire Elise Boucher, told Vanity Fair in a March 2022 feature that the baby’s name is pronounced “sigh-deer-ee-el,” but nicknamed Y.
Griffin, Vivian And Nevada
The business mogul and his first wife, Wilson, share twins Griffin and Vivian, born in 2004. The birth of their twins came after the couple had a son named Nevada in 2002 who died from sudden infant death syndrome.
“My firstborn son died in my arms,” Musk wrote in an email exchange reported by Business Insider India in February 2022. “I felt his heartbeat.”
