CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Billboard Magazine reports:

Grimes and Elon Musk are parents again. The singer revealed in a cover interview with Vanity Fair that she and the Tesla founder recently expanded their brood via surrogacy during the pandemic to welcome a baby girl in December.

In keeping with the couple’s space-age love story, their second born’s name is an intergalactic marvel: “Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.” She said the first name is a reference to the supercomputing term “exaFLOPS,” which is described as the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second.

The SpaceX boss is also father to 17-year-old twin sons with his ex, Justine Wilson, as well as their 15-year-old triplets conceived through IVF; he and Grimes welcomed son X AE A-XII (whom they refer to as “X Æ A-12”) in May 2020.
