Elon Musk, Grimes still can't agree on pronunciation of X AE A-12

The name of the newborn baby of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and&nbsp;singer Grimes may not be valid in California.

Although netizens went crazy after the 48-year-old named his baby boy X AE A-12, the unusual name can&nbsp;fall foul of Californian state rules.

According to the state's constitution, names can only use the 26 alphabetical characters of the English language. It doesn't allow&nbsp;symbols and diacritical marks.

This make X Æ A-12 Musk ''unacceptable''. It's possible it won't appear on the baby's official California birth certificate, at least not in the spelling that's been shared so far.

Earlier, Musk said in a podcast that human language will be ''obsolete''&nbsp;in 10 years, after he struggled&nbsp;to pronounce his newborn's&nbsp;name.
