Grimes came forward with a helping hand. She decoded the name for her followers and for everyone else as well. X means the unknown variable, Æ is Grimes’ elven spelling of Ai. A-12 is the precursor of SR-17. SR-17 is the favourite aircraft of the couple. This aircraft has no weapons and no defences, as informed by Grimes. Here, Elon corrected Grimes and said that it is SR-71 and not SR-17. Grimes also hilariously said that she is tired and her mistakes can be forgiven. The aircraft is known for its speed and is great in battle, even though it's non-violent. The A in A-12 is also the symbol of Archangel, which is Grimes’ favourite song. While many appreciated her explanation, some were still confused:
thank you for explaining i did not understand anything ❤️
