When we reported on Grimes & Elon Musk naming their son X Æ A-12 yesterday, we were hoping it was a joke. But alas, Grimes confirmed the unique choice in an explanatory tweet last night. The name, which at least seems to have some personal meaning to the parents, has been the butt of many memes and jokes since Elon tweeted it yesterday. And with the confirmation, we don't expect them to stop. Here are the reactions, plus some of our favorite X Æ A-12-related zingers. We hope this child has a lot of emotional strength. They're gonna need it on the playground.
In a world of darkness and negativity, we're more than happy to report that the world's most meme'd fetus has officially left the womb to grace us with its presence. Elon Musk took to Twitter last night to report that Grimes had given birth to a son, and that both mother and baby are happy and healthy. While some memers may be disappointed to find the baby's name is not "Influenza," Elon tweeted that the power couple had named their son "X Æ A-12." We're hoping that the Reddit-loving Musk is simply trolling his followers, but either way - the birth, and the unsurprisingly unique choice of name are both inspiring a ton of hilarious memes. Here are our favorites.
As if Grimes and Elon Musk's kid wasn't going to turn out weird enough already, they've reportedly named her "Influenza." Pop culture news outlet Pop Base tweeted about it earlier today and Twitter has since been handing out fire reactions left and right. Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet, but we wouldn't be all that surprised if this turns out to be 100% true. Luckily though, the truth will be revealed very soon as Grimes' due date is on May 4th. All we can really say is, godspeed to that baby.
Now please enjoy these incredibly entertaining reaction tweets.
John Lennon is quoted as saying "Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted." As peddlers of memes and other fine time-wasting materials, we're inclined to agree. This makes us all feel a lot less guilty for looking at memes and tweets all day. And that same sentiment gives you total permission to peruse this big batch of that very same content.
Elon, it's time to stop.
Our favorite cringey billionaire is back in action on the music scene with the drop of his new song on Soundcloud titled, "Don't Doubt ur Vibe." We have to say that while it isn't necessarily "RIP Harambe" levels of cringe, it still sort of...misses the mark.
Our theory is that Elon is either incredibly out of touch with the youth, or he does these strange things to troll us. Or maybe he just doesn't give a flying f*ck, because when you have billions of dollars, who really cares?
Anyway, please "enjoy" listening to Lil Elon's new song and scroll through the reaction memes and tweets below. Sorry ahead of time.
Elon Musk is without a doubt the internet's most beloved billionaire. He might be cringey as hell (anyone remember the Harambe song he produced not that long ago?), but we're glad to have the entertainment at our disposal. Scroll down and be sure to check out some more Musky memes here and over at eBaum's World!
Singer-songwriter Grimes slyly announced her pregnancy with Elon Musk (and displayed her nipples) on Instagram and Twitter yesterday evening, and the internet has gone completely wild over the news. The Canadian artist had uploaded two photos of herself: one with nipples, and one without. Both photos have a very subtle fetus photoshopped into her womb. After about an hour of rabid internet speculation, Grimes confirmed her pregnancy in an Instagram comment, referring to pregnancy as wild and feral. The post was later deleted for nudity.
While the Instagram gods have acted upon their wildly anti-nipple stance, they can't stop memers from going in on the exceedingly memeable couple. Memers are roasting the twosome gleefully on Twitter, making copious references to space, technology, and, of course, aliens. We're pretty sure that the Musk x Grimes collaboration will result in 100% human offspring, but the meme-y alternatives and witty Twitter reactions are giving us life. Here are our favorites.
Dan Milano, a senior producer at Now This News, created this hilarious Twitter thread of his brother building an artistic masterpiece of a Cybertruck at Thanksgiving dinner using mashed potatoes. And honestly we have to admit that we like it better than the real thing - at least this one you can eat. Sorry, Elon.
