Elon Musk and his on-and-off again girlfriend, Grimes, now have a third child together, the tech billionaire revealed over the weekend.
In a Sunday post on X (the social media platform once called Twitter), Musk confirmed the baby's name is Tau Techno Mechanicus. He did so while responding to a post from the entertainment platform Pop Base and did not provide any additional details about the child's age or sex.
The baby joins the couple's other two children X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, and the 52-year-old Tesla CEO welcomed their first child, X Æ A-Xii, together in 2020.
Last year, Grimes, 35, told Vanity Fair their second child, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, was born via surrogate in December 2021.
Musk previously gave credit to Grimes, who “mostly came up with the name" of their first child. "She's great at names," and said "babies are awesome. They're little love bugs."
