Elon Musk, Grimes welcome baby
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk and his singer girlfriend, Grimes, have welcomed their first child together, a boy who was born late Monday. Being that Musk loves to use Twitter to make important statements, it was no surprise that he tweeted out the announcement of his son’s birth.
“Mom and baby all good,” tweeted Musk, who then responded to requests by tweeting out a photo of himself wearing an Occupy Mars shirt and holding his newborn son.
Musk, who is known for having a sense of humor with his tweets, exhibited that when responding to a request for the baby’s name. Although, this being Elon Musk, there is always the possibility that he was being serious with what might best be called his unique naming convention for his son.
“X AE A-12 Musk,” tweeted the proud father.
The baby is Grimes’ first, and Musk has five teenage sons from an earlier marriage. His first son, Nevada, died in 2002 at 10 weeks old.
