In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), technology billionaire Elon Musk confirmed that he and his former partner Grimes have welcomed their third child together. The newest addition to their family goes by the distinctive name of Tau Techno Mechanicus, following the trend of unconventional names for their children.
Musk, who owns the social network, was responding to a post from entertainment news account Pop Base, which named his and Grimes’ three children as “X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, Techno Mechanicus.”
The child’s existence had been kept a secret until recently.
Musk and Grimes broke up in September 2021, but the Canadian singer – born Claire Boucher – has described their relationship status as “very fluid.”
