Via a Vanity Fair cover story that was published on Thursday, the world found out that Elon Musk and his on-again, off-again partner, Grimes, secretly welcomed a baby girl into the world.
This is the second child Grimes (33) welcomes with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, however, it is Musk’s (50) eight’s child. The pair’s firstborn was born in May 2020 and is named X Æ A-Xii — which is pronounced “X A.I. Archangel”.
Baby “Y” was meant to stay a secret
The baby was conceived via surrogate after Grimes had “serious discomfort and complications” during her previous pregnancy.
And at first, it seemed as if Grimes and Musk wanted to keep the new baby a secret. However, when the Vanity Fair interviewer heard crying from another room in the house, Grimes had no choice but to explain.
🌸2 clarify a few things; I did this to speak abt my work, not “reveal all” haha. Def held back a lot, contrary 2 headline. & didn’t mean for them 2 find out about my daughter so please respect her privacy as I’d love her to be able to live as private of a life as possible 🤍 pic.twitter.com/cyITehYRCx

And as can be expected – the baby girl’s name is out of this world. The baby girl’s “full name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk,” however she goes by the letter ‘Y’.
“Exa is a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS (the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second),” Grimes told the Vanity Fair reporter.
“Dark, meanwhile, is ‘the unknown’. People fear it, but truly it’s the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.”
Grimes added that Sideræl – pronounced “sigh-deer-ee-el” – is “the true time of the universe, star time, deep space-time, not our relative earth time”. This is also a reference to her favourite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel.
Elon Musk and Grimes are not together
The singer also revealed on Twitter that since the birth of the “Y” and the release of the Vanity Fair article she and Musk are no longer together.
However, they clearly still have a great relationship and see each other as “best friends”.
Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique – peace out
