Elon Musk has shared a new photo of his and Grimes’ son X Æ A-12 on Twitter.

On Tuesday, the Tesla founder posted a photo of himself holding the two-month-old looking into his eyes.

Musk captioned with photo: “Das baby kann noch keinen löffel benutzen,” which is German for: “The baby cannot use a spoon yet."

It is not clear why the father-of-seven captioned the photo in German, however, some speculated it is because he currently unveiled his plans to open a Tesla factory in Berlin.

In response to the tweet, Musk’s followers asked him to share more photos of the baby.

“Please share a photo of how you give him the bottle!! The world is a better place with regular X content,” one fan wrote in German.

In May, Musk shared two photos of his new son, one in which the infant’s face could be seen covered with a tattoo filter and another showing the 49-year-old holding the baby in his arms shortly after his birth.

Initially, Musk and Grimes had announced that they intended the newborn’s name to be X Æ A-12 but due to California law prohibiting characters outside of the alphabet from being used in names, the couple amended the moniker to X AE A-Xii on the child’s birth certificate.

According to the singer, they refer to the baby as “Little X” for short.

The tech founder’s latest photo with the newborn comes a day after Forbes revealed that Musk is now the fifth-richest person in the world after his net worth surpassed $74bn.
