Elon Musk momentarily forgot his son’s name during an interview, telling the press that it ‘sounds like a password’.
Musk was visiting the Giga factory in Berlin, Germany, when a member of the press asked him how his child was.
During the press conference, one interviewer asks Musk, who looks very confused: ‘how is X Æ A-12?’

The Tesla CEO asks the reporter to repeat themselves before laughing and saying ‘oh you mean my kid? That sounds like a password.’
He continues: ‘He’s great. I think next time I’m going to bring him.’
Musk and musician partner Grimes welcomed their first child together on May 4 and decided to name the baby boy X Æ A-12 Musk.
This is reportedly pronounced ‘Ex Ash A Twelve’ with ‘Ex’ being the child’s first name.
Later that month Grimes announced the baby’s name was changed to ‘X Æ A-Xii’ as it was reported that the child’s original name violates California naming laws.
