While many are yet figuring out how to pronounce the name of Elon Musk’s baby, the business magnate himself wore a confused expression when a journalist asked him, “How’s X Æ A-12?”

The incident took place during Musk’s visit to the Giga factory in Berlin, Germany earlier this week. The Tesla CEO had a spontaneous press conference on arrival and one of the journalists asked him about X Æ A-12.

Unable to comprehend the question at first, Musk asked the journalist to repeat himself. “Oh, you mean my kid.” “That sounded like a password,” he responds with a laugh.

A video of the same, shared on YouTube and Facebook went viral and evoked hilarious responses from netizens.

“I heard they initially named him Harry, but upon writing it on the birth certificate, a message popped up saying ‘not strong enough,” and “probably because it has to be solved every time. His kid is a math problem,” read one of the comments.
