On September 11, 2023, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, and the Canadian musician Grimes have once again captivated global attention. The power couple recently welcomed their third child together. The new arrival is announced in a forthcoming biography by journalist Walter Isaacson, which will be released on September 12. The child reportedly has been named Techno Mechanicus, but he will be nicknamed “Tau.”
Grimes, 35, a trailblazer in the music industry known for her unique sound, and Musk, 52, a billionaire entrepreneur, have often been the center of media attention due to their dynamic partnership. Their children, with the latest addition, are no exception to this spotlight. Their parents’ unconventional name choices make headlines. Musk and Grimes welcomed their son X Æ A-12, later changed to X Æ A-Xii, and known as “X,” on May 4, 2020.
While it is unclear if they are still together, the couple’s third child is a testament to their evolving relationship. Their bond has been subject to public scrutiny but they’ve maintained a united front, celebrating their family’s growth. Additionally, previous reports highlighted the arrival of their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, or “Y”.
Not only has the couple’s family life been under the limelight, but Grimes’ music and Musk’s technological advances continue to make headlines. As their family expands, their individual careers flourish, with Grimes’ avant-garde music and Musk’s ambitious ventures in space and electric cars.
With a first child named “X” and a second named “Y,” it might be surprising the third wasn’t named “Z,” but Musk and Grimes are known to be unpredictable.
