Baby X AE A-XII has just cut his hair for the first time.
The mother of the child with the curious name, pop star Grimes, gave her a homemade cut and shared the results in her stories on Instagram on Thursday.
“I’m not sure if the haircut was good, but he’s Viking now”, the singer from “Delete Forever” subtitles a scene from her 8-month-old son, who she shares with partner Elon Musk, sporting a new Mohawk style ‘do in the bathtub.
The 32-year-old song also shared a photo of her cutting her son’s hair with scissors, perhaps taken by Musk, 49. She clarified that the cut was inspired by the historic British TV series “The Last Kingdom”.
“Haircut inspired by the latest Netflix realm, which is a masterpiece,” she wrote.
Grimes and Musk welcomed their first child in May 2020. The powerful couple initially called the newborn “X Æ A-12 Musk”, but were forced to change it to “X AE A-XII ”, Since special characters and numbers are prohibited by California law.
Grimes previously tweeted that X is the “unknown variable” in algebra, while Æ (now AE) refers to “Ai’s elvish spelling (love and / or artificial intelligence).” The A-12 (now A-XII) at the end was inspired by the Lockheed Archangel-12 aircraft.
As to how it is pronounced? “I mean, it’s just X, the letter X,” said Musk to podcast host Joe Rogan. “And then, the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash’ … and then, A-12, A-12 is my contribution.”
“My partner is the one who, in fact, mostly came up with the name,” added Tesla’s CEO. “Yes, she is great with names.”
