One small detail in this NYT story about Elon Musk building a multi-family compound is the resolution around the billionaire promising the name “Valkyrie” to two different mothers of his kids:
Further complicating matters, Mr. Musk took a name that he and Ms. Boucher had chosen for their daughter — Valkyrie — and gave it to one of Ms. Zilis’s twins, according to two people familiar with the naming. Ms. Boucher was so offended that she wrote a song about the episode, which she posted to Twitter.
“A girl cursed with my daughter’s name,” Ms. Boucher wrote in a now-deleted tweet, “will now carry her mother’s shame.” (In the end, Ms. Zilis changed her daughter’s name, while Ms. Boucher chose a different name for her child.)
Glad they worked that out. It would’ve gotten truly confusing to have two Valkyries living under the same roof — or whatever covers a 14,400-square-foot villa.
