And you thought Elon Musk was the player of games? No, it’s Grimes, trying to hide her literal second child from a reporter, never mind the world

But the interview at her Austin home was interrupted by a crying baby. Grimes’s first child, X Æ A-12, was with his father, Musk, for the day, prompting the reporter to ask if she had another child.
Here’s what we know: Grimes and Musk’s second child, a daughter, was born in late 2021 through a surrogate. Grimes first introduced her daughter to Vanity Fair as Y, a nickname that pairs with her son’s, X. But later in the story, she shared the full name: Exa Dark Sideræl Musk. It is slightly more pronounceable than her son’s name, which she says as “X A.I. Archangel,” but Grimes said she expects that her daughter may not like it.
Exa is a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS . 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.” She texts me a voice memo with the pronunciation of Sideræl—“sigh-deer-ee-el”—which she calls “a more elven” spelling of sidereal, “the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time.
As for her relationship with Musk? It’s complicated. The pair seemingly didn’t break up last year, as Grimes’s song “Player of Games” led fans to believe. Instead, they’ve been living in separate homes in a “very fluid” relationship. “I just don’t like things to be messy and anime,” Musk told the magazine of living apart. And despite her errant thoughts about communism, Grimes still supports Musk, the richest man on the planet.
X, on the other hand, seems to be doing well. Over the course of the profile, he watched My Neighbor Totoro and went out for a playdate. Grimes told the magazine she thinks of X as Paul Atreides from Dune, and she’s his mother, Lady Jessica. “When I see X, like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff,” she intuits.
