Elon Musk is the richest person on the planet with a net worth of $223 billion and is known for owning Tesla and trying to conquer space. He is also a family man and with his newly born daughter, he now has 7 children in total. 

The babies that he had with his partner Grimes got a lot of attention in the media as the parents chose quite peculiar names for them. In 2020, Grimes gave birth to Elon’s youngest son and named him X AE A-XII. 

In December of last year, Elon and Grimes became parents to their youngest daughter, who they called Exa Dark Sideræl. The news caused quite a commotion and a flood of memes came out of it that we put in a list for your enjoyment.

Elon Musk has 7 children in total, 6 of which are sons. One of them is X AE A-XII, pronounced X A.I. Archangel or X for short,  born in 2020 that everyone has heard about because people were quite shocked that names resembling a house appliance model can be given to children. The other 5 are Griffin, Xavier, Kai, Saxon and Damian.

The latest member of the family is Exa Dark Sideræl. She was born in December of last year and it seems that the couple was not prepared to announce the news just yet, but Grimes couldn’t deny it when during an interview with Vanity Fair, the interviewer, Devin Gordon heard a baby crying.

He heard it for the first time 15 minutes into the conversation, but ignored it. After a few minutes he heard it again and since he has two children himself he clearly recognized that it was really an infant crying. Devin Gordon collected himself and asked the awkward question.

Grimes didn’t want to say anything at first because she feels that family matters should stay private as she saw what happened with X AE A-XII being all over the internet, but she didn’t deny that the baby Devin Gordon heard was hers and Elon’s.

The daughter’s full name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and it is a thought out combination. Exa refers to exaFLOPS, a term most often used when talking about the performance of supercomputer systems. Dark refers to the dark matter and the unknown. The third name, pronounced “sigh-deer-ee-el” is an elven spelling of sidereal, “the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time.” The short version is just Y, but in addition to Y the parents sometimes call her Sailor Mars.

Grimes’ first thought was to name their child Odysseus as a girl with that name is her dream and  Exa Dark Sideræl was a compromise that she still thinks might be too boring. But Grimes is realistic and realises that the girl might not like her name when she grows up and the mom is prepared for Y to want to change her name, she even will help her choose the new one.

Not only was the child’s name a shock to people, they were also confused about Elon’s and Grimes’ relationship as everyone thought they were divorced. In the Vanity Fair interview she explains that Elon is her boyfriend, her best friend and they are “very fluid” but live in separate houses.

Turns out, that the couple got divorced again, since the interview was posted and Grimes herself announced it on her Twitter: “Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well.”

Nobody is arguing that Grimes’ and Elon’s daughter’s name is out of the ordinary and probably wouldn’t be allowed in other countries with a stricter baby naming system, but while most people were pointing out how weird it is and how the nickname Y just doesn’t make sense, there were people who actually liked the full name and found it cool.

What do you think of the girl’s name? Do you think it could be damaging for the child growing up? Do you think other people have a right to judge parents for their name choices? Let us know in the comments and don;t forget to upvote the memes and reactions that you thought were on point.
