Well, the saga of Elon Musk's and Grimes' baby continues.

After melting down the internet with the announcement of their baby's extremely bizarre name, now the two are basically publicly arguing on Twitter about it.


After Grimes tweeted an explanation of the name with a very simple typo in it, Musk just had to be that guy that corrected her and... well, Grimes simply wasn't having it. Strange time in the Musk household.

As you may have heard, Grimes gave birth this week to her and Musk's baby, which they named X Æ A-12 Musk. It's been four whole days and still, nobody knows how to say this name. It's likely we never will because it is not made of words.

But we do now have an explanation for what it means, and that is something.

Grimes tweeted out a sort of glossary on Tuesday and... well, here you go.

Okay. Sure, Grimes, whatever you say.

It's all crystal clear now and this is a very normal name that means very normal, very clear things like "my elven spelling of Ai" and "metal rat" and we are all very clear on what is going on with your baby now.

Very cool.

Anyway, unfortunately Grimes' very reasonable explanation contained a typo.

See, Grimes and Musk's "favorite aircraft" is the SR-71 reconnaissance plane, not the SR-17, which does not exist.

And, well, Musk just couldn't help himself.

And Grimes was not having it.

So there, Elon.

Leave her alone and let her be profound. Or, you know, maybe go to the next room and talk to her in person?

Why are you guys having a Twitter argument, didn't you just have a baby? The layers of eccentricity of these two... it's really something.

Anyway, the two apparently made up when Musk called Grimes "a powerful angel" or something, and now all is well.

So that's that, it seems.

Anyway, unsurprisingly, Musk's correction caught a lot of people's attention.











So there you have it, you're up to date on the latest details of Elon Musk and Grimes's baby, X Æ A-12 Musk. Looking forward to their next update.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama warmed hearts when they shared the same photo to their respective social media accounts, showing them with their adult daughters, Sasha and Malia, to commemorate Sasha's 24th birthday.

Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House at the start of her father's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
