Elon Musk's and Grimes's baby boy was born on Star Wars Day, May The Fourth, and that's enough reason for fans to celebrate. Musk tweeted, "Mom & baby all good." While many flooded him with heartwarming wishes and love, others couldn't help but wonder what 'Star Wars' character would the child be named after. Fans never miss an opportunity to let their imagination run wild. Fans wrote that it was 'super appropriate' that his child was born on May 4. Fans called it a 'Star Wars' baby.

"Congratulations to you and family on your Star Wars baby!!" a fan tweeted.

Some hope that the baby's name would be inspired by 'Star Wars'. "Given the date, will they be named something Star Wars inspired?" wrote a fan. 

One fan wrote before the delivery, "@elonmusk would have a baby on starwars day. Now is either going to be a Luke or Leia? #ElonMusk #MayTheFourthBeWithYou."

"Baby Musk born on May the 4th...super appropriate!!! Hope he follows in his dad’s footsteps to allow humankind travel to other sun/planetary systems!" tweeted a fan.

"Holy Star Wars. You have a 'Fourth be with you baby.' How awesomely spacey is that?!? Congrats!" tweeted another fan. 

"Wow. In Australia is 5th May when you announced your baby’s arrival but just realised your baby is May 4 2020.... MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU," wrote another fan.

"@elonmuskdid not just have a baby on May the 4th! Now he is controlling the simulation. Congratulations!" tweeted another fan.

"Prepare for star war (kidding!), Congratulations, new family member to space X," wrote a fan.

"So you’ll telling me the grimes and elon musk had a baby on Star Wars day which was also supposed to be Met Gala day... iconique," a fan wrote.

Others were sure that he had planned it to coincide with 'Star Wars'."Jesus Christ, Grimes and Elon Musk’s baby was born on May the 4th I feel like they planned it this way to coincide with the Star Wars Sci-fi aesthetic."

Meanwhile, May The Fourth celebrations are in full flow on social media as the world is in lockdown and fans are busy tweeting about their favorite moments and characters from the iconic franchise.
