X Æ A-12 and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.
Not even joking.
They both need to lose custody based on those names
Neither is Hegar. That's their secret 3rd kid. They're so stupid.
I was making so much fun of the two kids names I completely missed the third kid lol
Yeah, you and his parents.
Holy fuck
Isn’t there laws against names like this?
In North America, the only laws I know of are the character restrictions on the input field for the birth certificate.

In some places

No, why would there be laws about names? Name has to come from somewhere, right?
It’s to stop crackheads from naming their children names that will be detrimental to them throughout their life. Like naming them shitbag or sandals. No one would call their kids names like this you say? There’s a reason they had to invent this law SMH
Didn't Michael Jackson name his kid Blanket
Pretty sure that's just a nickname.
Well, there's not, because the law literally doesn't exist (in the United States anyway).
And that's a pretty stupid fucking reason.
This is a great example of the price of freedom. Poor shitbags has to live a shitty life just because a deranged parent felt like being edgy and pushing the free speech laws to their limits.
They don't. During their coming up they have a nickname and then they change their name. It's not a thing.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but you have way too much faith in humanity. It’s probably a good thing in many ways

Not even trying to hide the racism / xenophobia
Wait, no joke? Ræl is not a very nice thing to call someone in Norwegian
Online translation says it means "crap," for those that are curious.
No, it's a joke.
In an outdoor on-the-spot interview someone asked him how XAEwhatever was (saying it how Musk pronounced it in an interview) and Musk was confused for a few seconds like "huh.. what..?.. OH YOU MEAN MY KID HAHA! Yeah he's fine."
So he was just trolling and getting his kicks while everyone took him serious.
Considering his track record with his other kids, it's entirely possibly he just forgot he had that kid.
Those are the kids actual names. They refer to them as "X" and "Y."
Sideræl, substantiv; når dama du holder på med på si er noe skikkelig ræl.
What's with Elon Musk and the letter X anyways?
Edgy teenager shit, probably.
Like drawing an anarchy symbol on stuff.
He's an edgy 14 year old
