Several twitter users thought that Musk was just pulling another bluff, when his girlfriend Grime had to pitch in and confirm.
Grimes even explained the meaning of the name in her tweet. “X is the `the unknown variable`, Æ is her `elven spelling of Ai”, A-12 is the “precursor to SR-17”. “X, the unknown variable. Æ, my elven spelling of AI (love &/or Artificial intelligence), A-12 precursor to SR-17 (our favourite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent + (A=Archangel, my favourite song),” she posted.
