Baby X AE A-XII just received her first haircut.
The baby’s mother, curiously named pop star Grimes, gave him a look at home and shared the results on Instagram Stories.
“I’m not sure this haircut went well, but he’s Viking now,” the “Erase Forever” singer captioned a photo of her 8-month-old boy, which she shares with partner Elon Musk, wearing a new Mohawk style in bathtub.
The 32-year-old musician also shared a moment of it, pulling scissors on her son’s locks, probably taken by 49-year-old Musk. She clarified that the cut was inspired by the British historical series “The Last Kingdom”.
“Haircut inspired by the last kingdom on Netflix, which is a masterpiece,” she wrote.
Grimes and Musk welcomed their first child in May 2020. The power couple initially named the newborn “X Æ A-12 Musk”, but was forced to change it to “X AE A-XII” because the characters and special numbers are prohibited by California law.
Grimes tweeted earlier that X is the “unknown variable” in algebra, while Æ (now AE) refers to “the elven spelling of Ai (love and / or artificial intelligence)”. The A-12 (now A-XII) was eventually inspired by the Lockheed Archangel-12.
How about how it is pronounced? “I mean it’s just X, the letter X,” Musk told podcast host Joe Rogan. “And then, Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash’ … and then, A-12, A-12 is my contribution.”
“My partner is the one who, for the most part, came up with the name,” added Tesla CEO. “Yes, she’s wonderful in name.”
