          In North America, the only laws I know of are the character restrictions on the input field for the birth certificate.

          No, why would there be laws about names? Name has to come from somewhere, right?

            It’s to stop crackheads from naming their children names that will be detrimental to them throughout their life. Like naming them shitbag or sandals. No one would call their kids names like this you say? There’s a reason they had to invent this law SMH

          No, it’s a joke.

          In an outdoor on-the-spot interview someone asked him how XAEwhatever was (saying it how Musk pronounced it in an interview) and Musk was confused for a few seconds like “huh… what…?.. OH YOU MEAN MY KID HAHA! Yeah he’s fine.”

          So he was just trolling and getting his kicks while everyone took him serious.

            Considering his track record with his other kids, it’s entirely possibly he just forgot he had that kid.

            Those are the kids actual names. They refer to them as “X” and “Y.”
