Billionaire Elon Musk is a lot of things.

Eccentric is clearly among them. Earlier this week, Musk announced the birth of his son with a social media post, “Mom & baby all good.” Great.

Thankfully the state of California stepped in and stopped Musk from putting his son on the path to a lifetime of schoolyard teasing.

X Æ A-12? Really? Hey, we’re long past the days of Fred or Tom or some of the old-school names, but X Æ A-12?
