Grimes Opened Up About A Big Difference She's Noticed In Her Son X
Singer Grimes and tech mogul Elon Musk might have seemed a bizarre match at first, but their love was real. And the proof of that was their baby. Though the duo has since split, their child connects them even moreso. How Grimes reacted to having a child in the first place makes for an interesting read, but what’s more intriguing is how the child interacts with his mom. It certainly sets him apart from most kids his age.
X marks the kid
What most of us know about Musk and Grimes’ child is that he was lumbered with a “weird” name. Yes, the couple dubbed him X Æ A-12 Musk. Which, you have to admit, seems like it might be hard to say! Luckily, the pair seem to have decided to refer to him as X.
More optimism
The new mom took to her new role like a duck to water, or so she said. This was true even if she was a bit skeptical about using the term “parenting.” She told the world that the experience had led her to feel “less hate, more optimism, more creativity, more desire for life, and more respect for women.” And it seemed that baby X may also have inherited a bit of Grimes’ wacky side.
Nerd humor
Offbeat has always been the flavor of Grimes and Musk’s relationship, which began on Twitter. Musk was on the verge of posting a jape about artificial intelligence when he found out that the singer had already made the joke by calling a character in one of her videos “Rococo Basilisk.” This name is a pun on “Roko’s Basilisk,” a thought experiment that found an appreciative audience among some of the internet’s nerd faction.
Twitter warrior
Musk is an active user of Twitter, to say the least, and controversy never seems to be too far from him. When he’s not floating a plan that sounds decidedly space-age, he’s getting into trouble with off-the-wall posts. When some Thai kids were stuck in a cave, he said he’d save them with a mini-sub — though he didn’t. And when a guy upset him, he called him a “pedo” — you might be unsurprised to learn that the guy wasn’t one! Famously, in 2018 a joke about taking his firm Tesla private caused a ruckus.
