For fuck’s sake… imagine finding out your father, the richest man in the world, fought to only have to pay your mother less than $3000 a month in child support!
It’s not about the money. It’s about power. He needs her to need him, because no woman in their right mind would fuck with him without that dependency.
The issue is not that it’s to limit to less than 3k. It’s to have a limit at to begin with (California doesn’t have any, so it might cost him dozens or hundreds of thousands a month). Plus, maybe he’s got more chances to keep custody (shared) in Texas than California.
Oh, you must be unaware of who this is. He is (or was, we’ll see after his Xitter debacle) actually one of the richest men on the planet, and despite being able to pay thousands a day solely on his own child without even noticing, he’s going to great lengths to avoid paying more than the absolute bare minimum for his own child.
The mother still pays and is very capable of providing. 3k is not the bare minimum when it’s, by decree, the maximum allowed by the state.
It’s not because you can spend that you should and want to spend your money (I could spend more than I do, I prefer keeping some for emergencies and special projects and investments.
Texas has a child support limit, but it might not be the only reason he wants to do it the, he might have more chance to keep custody there over California.
People keep downvoting anyone who is not against Elon Musk, no need to be supportive of him, just simply stating that don’t arguments against him might be wrong is enough to get downvoted to hell.
This is just Reddit all over again.
The same world that produced the USDA Expenditures on Children by Families Consumer Expenditure Survey results, in which that amount is similar to other numbers. The US government may or may not have artificially inflated these numbers for intrinsic benefits. Depending on how you slice the numbers or what variables in that child’s life are at play, a child can easily cost more than $2700 a month, but millions of families also raise multiple children simultaneously on less money than that. In the same world where rent prices on 1-2 bedroom places can start upwards from $1500/month, what values do make sense? The answer to that depends on whether we’re talking about Musk or actual people.

I think out of all the things I’ve heard about Elon Musk, this might be the thing that disgusts me the most.
But surprises me the least
He’s a shit dad all around, which is why his kids hate him.
Clearly you haven’t seen his summer vacation pics. I had know idea that he was Mayor McCheese under those black shirts.
Well, if he didn’t live there and have to pay so litttle, he woudln’t be the richest man in the world, would he?
/s
For three kids. So 1k each.
It’s not about the money. It’s about power. He needs her to need him, because no woman in their right mind would fuck with him without that dependency.
If I were that judge, I’d make him conform to what a shitheal.
where $3k a month is literally a rounding error on the dickface’s net worth. I bet he spends $3k a month on rogain.
It’s like he’s taken a page out of Steve Jobs’ book but not gone as far to say the kid isn’t his at all

Sounds like he should have thought about that before having kids.
Oh no! The man worth hundreds of billions might have to pay far less than 1% of his wealth to his kids! They’re bleeding him dry, I tell you!
Imagine spending $100/day solely on your child. This is a crazy amount of money already, why is everyone upset?

Hope that clears it up.

In what world is $2700/month “the absolute bare minimum” for a child? What amount seems reasonable to support a small child?
Or, more to the point, why is everyone pretending that’s not an outrageous amount?
Because it’s not an outrageous amount if you are one of the richest people on earth. It’s all relative.
Most children do at least $200/day worth of cocaine.
When was the last time you raised a child?
1950?

And on California rent… child support doesn’t need to go directly to your child, groceries and rent/utilities are also considered a valid use
Yea it’s not $100 of Teddy bears and candy
