Elon Musk announcing that his son is named X Æ A-12 Musk created quite an online chatter. In fact, the tech giant, during a podcast interview, also revealed the meaning of the unusual name and how to pronounce it. Now, a creative mind, Richard Reis, has come up with a website which, taking a cue from X Æ A-12, guesses what Elon Musk would have named you if he was your dad.
