The SpaceX CEO was very sparse when providing further details about the newborn but confirmed that it was a boy. In response to a Twitter user asking the name of his child, Musk replied, "X Æ A-12 Musk."

This is Musk's sixth son overall. When married to ex-wife Justine Wilson, the couple had five sons together: 7-year-old twins Damian and Griffin along with 5-year-old triplets Xavier, Saxon and Kai. The two also had a son named Nevada, who died of SIDS when he was just 10 weeks old.
