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.
<p>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 <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-grimes-explain-sons-name_n_5eb30b0ec5b6dbd807b4dbdc" target="_blank">simply wasn't having it</a>. Strange time in the Musk household.</p><p>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.</p><p><div id="insticator-container" class="embedid-c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"><div id="div-insticator-ad-1"></div><div id="insticator-embed"></div><div id="div-insticator-ad-2"></div><script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-1");Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-2");Insticator.load("em",{id : "c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"})</script></div></p><p><strong>But we <em>do</em> now have an explanation for what it <em>means</em>, and that is something. </strong></p><p><strong>Grimes tweeted out a sort of glossary on Tuesday and... well, here you go.</strong></p><p><div data-conversation-spotlight=""></div></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

</p><p><strong>Okay.
