The peer pressure to succeed when your father is already a man who has achieved everything is a burden that many children have to bear especially those kids, whose father are either a world-renowned movie star or a multi-billionaire. Well, in a recent conversation with his guests Big Jay Oakerson, Luis J. Gomez, and Dave Smith from Legion of Skanks, Joe Rogan discussed the fates of Elon Musk and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s kids. While poking fun at them, he also expressed sympathy for their situations.

The color commentator creates an imaginary situation in his mind that clearly illustrates the effects of peer pressure on children, “Bro, imagine if you were that guy’s son, but you were a moron. That would s**k!” Well, the conversation about Elon Musk’s son was just going on when Big Jay Oakerson brought up Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Christopher Schwarzenegger, who had a pretty rough time as he was being compared with his stepbrother, who was jacked.

As Oakerson was poking fun at the poor kid, Joe Rogan chimed in to emphasize that Christopher Schwarzenegger is jacked as he underwent massive weight change either due to peer pressure or through his own decisions, “I think the other son’s Jack too now. Sometimes he just, you know, ‘F**k, Dad! I don’t even want to lift weights.'”

Luis J. Gomez interfered to ascertain that it was never easy for the younger generation to suffer like their parents, considering they had everything wanted in their childhood. He added, “If you’re Schwarzenegger’s, you have so much privilege. I would just never want to lift weights at that point. I can never imagine building the foundation as a young Schwarzenegger to be like, ‘I’m just going to work really hard now at something.'” Joe Rogan couldn’t help but agree with Gomez’s assessment as at the end of the conversation, he finally sympathized with the kids, “Right, because you were born inside that house.”

Speaking of kids, Joe Rogan started a conversation about Elon Musk’s son, whose name is ‘A-12.’ But why did he choose such a name? Let’s find out.

Elon Musk explains the reason why he named his kid ‘A-12’

Well, jokes apart, the name ‘A-12’ sounds pretty similar to American Airforce’s ‘A-10’ fighters. So was the multi-billionaire influenced by those jets? While having a conversation with Joe Rogan back in the 2020s, Elon Musk emphasized that the name was mostly the thought of his partner, Grimes, “First of all, my partner is the one that, actually, mostly, came up with the name,” said Musk.

He further added, “Yeah, she’s great at names. I mean it’s just X, the letter X. Um, and then, the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash’. And then, A-12, A-12 is my contribution, Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71, is the coolest plane ever.” Elon Musk is not the only one who gave the clarification of the name.

Grimes took to her X handle to make a post where she broke down the original meaning behind the name. She wrote, “X, the unknown variable Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence) A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent. A=Archangel, my favorite song.”
