The previous week has been a busy one for Elon Musk – what with appearing in court in the SolarCity trial and meeting Richard Branson just before his space flight – but the Tesla chief did handle to take time out for some “light reading” with his son, X AE A-XII. Elon Musk, 50, took to Twitter yesterday to share a image of his one-year-old son ‘reading’ a book on airplanes. Interestingly adequate, the book is open to a web page committed to Lockheed A-12 – the airplane that served as inspiration for the toddler’s exclusive name.
X AE A-XII is the son of Elon Musk and his companion, Canadian singer Grimes. He was born on May 4, 2020. At the time, Elon Musk and Grimes dominated the headlines for naming their son X AE A-12. Later, they made a slight transform in the numeral portion of the name, which is now written in the Roman format.
“Some light reading with lil X,” wrote Mr Musk whilst sharing the image on Twitter.

The image has racked up more than 1 lakh ‘likes’ and practically 5,000 ‘retweets’, along with hundreds of comments.
“Gotta take him to the Air Force museum!” wrote one individual in the comments section – to which the billionaire entrepreneur agreed.

“Yeah,” Elon Musk wrote in response to a Twitter user asking him if he used to fly Russian fighter jets.

Aerospace enterprise Lockheed Martin, meanwhile, recommended some additional reading for the one-year-old to discover.

Last year, Grimes had revealed on Twitter that the last portion of her son’s name is a tribute to the Lockheed A-12, a precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird. Lockheed A-12 was a reconnaissance aircraft constructed for the United States Central Intelligence Agency by Lockheed’s Skunk Works.
