It remains unclear if the 50-year-old business magnate was with them on the trip.
When Grimes first gave birth to his baby in May 2020 it was initially announced that they had named their child X Æ A-12.
However they then discovered that the California constitution only allows legal names to contain characters from the English alphabet.

Elon - who shares five sons with his first wife Justine Wilson and was married twice to his second wife Talulah Riley - has explained how to pronounce X Æ A-XII.
Shortly after the baby was born he went on The Joe Rogan Experience and shared that his newest son’s name is verbally said: ‘X Ash A Twelve.’
On-the-go: Grimes seemed to be having a blast on the trip as she shared this self-taken video
In the pink: She had rose colored locks which she brushed away from her face
Out and about: The artist took in all the sights and sounds the country had to offer
Pleased: She struck a look behind her toward the camera
He dished that Grimes ‘came up with the name’ except for ‘A-12’ which was ‘my contribution’ and was inspired by Lockheed’s aircraft ‘Archangel-12, the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever. It’s true.’
Elon confided: ‘It’s actually, I think it’s better being older and having a kid. I appreciate it more. Yeah, ‘cause babies are awesome.’
Grimes has been active on social media as on Friday she posted snaps of herself in a flirty and sexy outfit consisting of a shredded plaid mini skirt and Chanel-inspired sailor’s crop top.
The singer used her elbow to hike up the skirt, flashing her upper thigh and a shred of her underwear.

Her crop top allowed her flat midriff to be seen as well.
The mother of one also wore some golden necklaces, and had her blonde hair underneath a shiny black leather beret.
At one point Grimes also stood in a pair of knee-high boots that almost matched her skin tone and leg tattoos perfectly.
The Oblivion songstress explained in the caption on Twitter, ‘I feel uncomfortable wearing sexy stuff in public cuz I made a very explicit point of not doing it b4.
‘But now that I’m old it’s def time to start dressing slutty even tho I failed at being a video vixen for Doja Cat so maybe I’m not emotionally ready for no pants,’ she concluded.
The ‘video vixen’ moment Grimes was referring to was the music video for Doja Cat’s song Need To Know, released in June, in which she played a member of Doja’s intergalactic space posse.

On Instagram, she posted a few additional images from the playful photo shoot, in which she posed in front of a rice paper room divider screen.
‘Never posted a thirst trap before,’ Grimes wrote in the caption. ‘Guess I’m just a puppet of the deep state now’.

The theme of this year’s Pirelli calendar is On the Road, with pictures taken both in Los Angeles, California as well as Capri, Italy.
Elon Musk Shares Pic With Son X Æ A-XII At Starbase, Netizens Say ‘we Know X Is Incharge’
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has yet again created a buzz on social media after he shared a photo with his son X Æ A-Xii on Twitter. According to the caption, the image was taken at Starbase, the launch site of SpaceX rocks located in Boca Chica, Texas. In the picture, Musk is seen walking in front of the prototype Starship rocket with his baby boy strapped onto him.
Musk’s son X Æ A-Xii was born a year ago on May 4, 2020. In the first-ever photo the Tesla CEO shared of him, he used a Snapchat filter on the newborn’s face, and proudly wore a t-shirt that said, “Occupy Mars”. Previously, Musk had also made it clear that his toddler, X Æ A-Xii would also be actively involved in it. Over a year later, he’s now delivering. Check out the image below:

Netizens in awe
Since shared, the post has garnered over 124.5 likes, with numbers still increasing. The adorable image has left netizens in awe. From terming X Æ A-Xii as the “boss baby” to pointing out how nice it was to see Musk bring his son to the Starbase, internet users flooded the comment section with all kinds of reactions.
One user wrote, “Baby is going to grow up to fly a starship guaranteed”. Another said, “Hats off to the Dogefather”. Reacting to the picture, one user even joked, “Early version of human (aka baby) and early version of Starship in one pic”.
Such a great picture. I never thought that the beginning of interplanetary travel would look like this. This makes it very approachable for everyday people. I would have always imagined it would all be hidden in some top secret government lab. This much better ! — Rotokk (@Rotokk76) August 2, 2021
He may be a little cray cray sometimes, but at least he’s a good dad raising some good kids. — Maya (@mayax5x) August 2, 2021
You have my sincere respect Elon ! Hats off the Dogefather! 🚀 pic.twitter.com/HxAAdd8Zpu — Jonas O (@jonastyle_) August 2, 2021
Elon you may be the boss, but we all know X is in charge! pic.twitter.com/M2YPjaMpLW — Owen Sparks 🌎 (@OwenSparks_) August 2, 2021
Now, where is the cute baby hard hat? I’m sure his Grandmas would gush over a picture of him in one. 😉
We also know who the real site boss is. — Ruth Edick (@RuthEdick) August 2, 2021
Meanwhile, last month, Musk had graced Twitter with another adorable picture of his son. Musk shared a picture of his one-year-old son “reading” a book on airplanes. In the image, one could see that the book was open to a page dedicated to Lockheed A-12 - the airplane that served as an inspiration for the toddler’s unique name. It also showed Musk’s son, dressed in a tee and pants, while crawling over the book.
Musk welcomed his first child with Candian singer Grimes. While explaining the reason behind naming his child with partner Grimes ‘X Æ A-Xii’, Musk termed ‘A-12’ as the “coolest plane ever” and hence, included the same in the name. Responding to a question asked about his son’s name on The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk said, “First of all, my partner’s the one that mostly came up with the name. I mean it’s just X, the letter X, and the ‘Æ’ is pronounced, ‘Ash,’ and then, A-12 is my contribution.” He then elaborated that ‘A-12’ stood for “Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever”.

Elon Musk’s tiny home won’t help save the world. Paying more taxes would | Arwa Mahdawi

Imagine no possessions? Easy if you’re Elon!
Elon Musk has an enormous rocket and a tiny house. Last year the multibillionaire (who is the second-richest person in the world) announced that he was going to sell off most of his physical possessions, including multiple mansions, and “will own no house”. He appears to have made good on much of that pledge and is now living in a $50,000, 375-square-foot, prefab home in Texas that he rents from his company SpaceX.
To say that Musk has “fans” is an understatement. He has devotees. The 50-year-old has an army of admirers, most of whom are young and male, who seem to believe that he is the second coming. Predictably, Musk’s new living arrangements have sparked an orgy of admiration from the MuskBros, who see it as another example of how their dear leader is selflessly – and modestly – saving the world. “Reminder: Elon Musk is the richest person globally with a net worth of $193B, and he lives in a $50k foldable home that he rents …” one guy gushed in a tweet that went viral. “Stop buying stuff you don’t need to impress people you don’t like.”
Now that last bit is very good advice, I’ll grant you that. But let’s not pretend Musk is living a simple and sustainable lifestyle, shall we? His new digs aren’t so much an actual home as a $50,000 office; I’m fairly confident he’s not entertaining his six children there, anyway. It’s easy to eschew possessions when you can afford to get your hands on whatever you want, whenever you want it. And while Musk may not technically own a home, his company effectively owns the village of Boca Chica where his house is located. SpaceX has been accused of ushering out the village’s residents, many of whom are retirees, and pressuring them to sell their homes. Public beaches are reportedly frequently closed with little warning when SpaceX is running tests. Musk has also taken the liberty of unofficially renaming Boca Chica “Starbase”. “For better or worse, Boca Chica belongs to Elon now,” TexasMonthly sighed.
I’ll give credit where it’s due, Musk’s carbon footprint is low by billionaire standards (which isn’t saying much). Bill Gates, for example, who is trying to turn himself into a thought-leader on the climate crisis, is responsible for far more emissions. Still, it’s more than a little nauseating to watch a billionaire – whose wealth rocketed during a global pandemic – being venerated for living modestly. It’s also bizarre to watch him boasting about not owning property during a housing crisis. Thanks to decades of trickle-up economics, nearly half of American workers don’t earn enough to afford a one-bedroom rental, let alone buy a house. Musk wants us to think he is using his immense, and unconscionable, wealth to save the world. But billionaires like him are a result of the same greed that is helping to accelerate the climate crisis. If Musk really wanted to help the planet perhaps he should think less about his living arrangements and more about his tax arrangements.
Why Nasa’s female astronauts can’t fly as much as men
Not only are there are far fewer female astronauts than male ones, women are also not allowed to spend as much time in space. The Economist explains that’s because astronauts are exposed to huge amounts of radiation and women have been found to be at a higher risk of developing cancer than men when exposed to radiation. To limit health problems, Nasa has imposed gender-based career limits on radiation exposure that effective mean a woman can fly only 45-50% of the number of missions that a man can. To make things fairer Nasa wants to replace this system with a standard career limit.
What happened to America’s concern about Afghan women?
A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Afghanistan and women and children will disproportionately suffer. “That’s not America’s problem,” Joe Biden has basically said. For 20 years the US has made a big song and dance about how it was largely in Afghanistan to liberate Afghan women and girls. This was always disingenuous, of course, but the US’s disastrously abrupt exit from the country underscores just how disingenuous it was. US involvement in Afghanistan has been a litany of disasters and was never going to end well. But Biden could certainly have tried to end it a little more thoughtfully, and less abruptly, than he did.
Female reporter being hunted by the Taliban tells her story

Women can now wear trousers to the Henley Royal Regatta
Until this year the posh rowing event has mandated that women wear dresses and skirts “with a hemline below the knee”. After a petition by Oxford’s Women’s Boat Club, they’re graciously allowing women to expand their options.
Prince Andrew is not above the law
Like pretty much all of the powerful men connected to Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew has faced some embarrassment but zero real consequences for cavorting with the convicted sex offender. Now, however, he is being sued in the US courts by Virginia Giuffre, who alleges the prince had sex with her when she was 17 while knowing she had been trafficked by Epstein, and it’s looking increasingly unlikely that he’ll be able to ignore the allegations.
Kathy Hochul will become the first female governor of New York
Hochul has said she will work to change the “toxic” work culture in office after Andrew Cuomo’s long overdue resignation. This isn’t the first time Hochul has stepped in to replace a man ousted because of scandal. A decade ago a sex scandal caused Representative Chris Lee to resign in disgrace and Hochul won an election to fill his vacancy. She was succeeded by another dodgy Chris: the Republican Chris Collins, who went to prison for securities fraud.
The week in pawtriarchy
Cats may have cultivated a reputation as aloof predators who secretly want to kill you, but they’re actually fluffy lovebugs who adore their humans. That’s according to a new study that has found cats see their humans as parents, maybe even more so than dogs. They’ve just a slightly odd way of showing it sometimes.
