However, his job's busy nature does not stop him from babysitting his nine-month-old son, X Æ A-XII, as shown in a tweet he made over the weekend.

Musk shares the cute X Æ A-XII with his girlfriend, singer Grimes. The couple welcomed their son in May 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

They initially named him "X Æ A-12" Musk but changed his name to X Æ A-XII because California law does not allow special characters and numbers to be used in names.

He was candid about it in a reported interview, revealing his heartbreak over he and his ex-girlfriend, Amber Heard's breakup

The billionaire's son's name has generated many questions from people regarding its pronunciation. However, Musk explained the unique name's meaning while appearing on a podcast with comedian Joe Rogan.

The SpaceX CEO revealed that Grimes came up with their son's name. He also said that "X" is just the alphabetical letter X, while Æ is pronounced as "Ash."

Musk further explained that A-12 is his contribution to the name and stands for "Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71, which he said was the coolest plane ever.

Though he explained the meaning behind his son's unique name, Musk is usually quiet about details of his personal life. However, he was candid about it in a reported interview, revealing his heartbreak over his and his ex-girlfriend, Amber Heard's breakup.

He also touched upon his estranged relationship with his dad, Errol, who he described as a terrible human being, adding that he committed so many crimes.

Besides X Æ A-XII, Musk also shares five teenage sons, including twins and triplets, with his former wife, Justin Wilson, whom he tied the knot with in 2000 before splitting in 2008.
