After last week's bizarre showing, Elon Musk stayed very on brand with his eccentric behavior.

He and partner Grimes had a baby yesterday and they've named it something so strange that literally no one has any idea how to pronounce it.


Musk announced the joyous occasion with a couple very cute tweets about their little bundle of joy, whom mother Grimes has said will be allowed to determine their own gender.

One of the tweets—a rather random photo of the baby with tattoos photoshopped onto their face—gave plenty of people an off-color laugh.

"Never too young for some inke," Musk quipped in reply to the photo of the newborn.

It's the first baby for Grimes and the seventh for Musk, who has six other children with ex-wife Justine Wilson. Of course, everyone was dying to know the tyke's name.

And that's when things got... really interesting.

After a Twitter follower begged to know, Musk complied and, well... it's... um... unique?

No one alive has any idea how to say that name, and if they say they do they're lying.

But there is one theory that has gained some traction since Musk liked the tweet in which it was proposed.

X Ash Archangel seems perfectly reasonable given that there is literally no other possible explanation any human mind could come up with. X Ash Archangel Musk it is.

Grimes had said back in February that she and Musk had picked an unusual name, but that she would not be sharing it.

"...because everyone I've told it hates it, and everyone's gonna make fun of it... But it is, in fact, a genius name and people just don't appreciate it yet because it's too avant-garde."

Avant-garde is definitely one way of many to describe naming your baby something that literally makes no sense in any language on Earth.

Anyway, little X Æ A-12 is barely a day old but the jokes have already rolled off Twitter like a tidal wave.












Anyway, welcome to the world, little X Æ A-12, however you pronounce your name.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
