Yes, I am X AE A-12 Musk, son of Elon. The AE is actually a diphthong and pronounced “ash”.

Wow, hadn’t heard about the Muskspawn. What a name - borderline child abuse. But good job, MissTake!

I thought of kiddo but was somehow always under the impression that kiddo was a daughter.

Start an October thread, MissTake?
