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!
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
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.
Sounds like he should have thought about that before having kids.
so it might cost him dozens or hundreds of thousands a month
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?
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.
Hope that clears it up.
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.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?
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.
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
So, he’s a deadbeat dad and a Nazi. I bet he thinks he’s manly as fuck.

Psychopathic men are more likely to have lots of children, with minimal regard in actually being a parent to those children.
If it quacks like a duck…
Did you see that picture of him wielding a katana?? He’s the epitome of manliness!

Mr. “Popullation Collapse” thinks supporting children he creates is too difficult? WOMP WOMP
For the love of god, can we stop treating everything he does like it’s news? Let him be a shitty person in some dark corner, don’t feed his ego by putting him in headlines.
Hard disagree. It would be one thing if he was just off in his corner by himself being a terrible person, but he’s very much always in the limelight and has a whole cult of personality worshipping the ground he walks on. We need articles like this as a counter to all the ass-kissing going on.
The cult of personality thing is the big part IMO. If it was just him being a piece of shit without any influence, then whatever. But he has a cult following that are influenced by him and his actions (plus Twitter seems now designed to push his thoughts). It’s important that the vast majority of people understand that Musk is an idiot and a piece of shit. It needs to be lame and gross to like him.
He’s always in the limelight because of these “news” articles, not in spite of them. Can we not collectively decide to ignore him and let him die in irrelevance?
No, because that is not and will never be reasonably possible. He will CREATE the news coverage if you dont throw shade
I really don’t understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.
Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.
Yes, if it involves politics or the economy, but this is just interpersonal drama between him and his ex
It’s not a bad thing that more people realize that he’s not actually a super genius that’s trying to save teh world, but a giant piece of shit. If you don’t like reading about what a shit head he is make a filter or something.
He’s also super-effective at dismissing the notion that billionaires earned what they have, and the concept of meritocraty under capitalism - he’s clearly far too stupid to be worthy.
To be honest, I find his limitless villainy fascinating and it’s hard to look away. It’s like watching a slow motion Tesla crash
The best thing to have in a dark corner is a sniper
just to clarify, is this the kid he used a random password generator to name?
Fuck musk.
Fuck musk.
Do you want him to have even more kids? 'Cause that’s how he gets even more kids!
I thought he artificially inseminated in order to get his kids for some reason.
well, there are ways to do so so, without the risk of children. I’m more concerned he might like it.

Musk is a scumbag from the get-go.
If he didn’t want to support his kids he never should have had any.
Wearing a condom isn’t that hard to do.
He’s a giant selfish piece of shit with a messiah/god complex who was born on third with Hank Aaron at bat, any sane society would’ve dropped him into the deep wilderness with a bindle a decade ago. I hope he takes up submarining
Between the space travel and brain implants, his own companies have plenty of good options besides submarining.
Unfortunately I think he’s too much of a coward to go first on any of those himself, probably for my suggestion too, I hope he proves me wrong with the brain implants and then something doesn’t go terribly wrong with the inputs to the pain centers of his brain
You’re probably right, but we can dream.
Ichiro or Ted Williams.
Hank was a home run hitter not an on base hitter.
I know I was trying to imply overkill
Iirc he believes that it’s his duty to procreate and produce as many white people as possible to prevent replacement.
And yet he’s too lazy to give his “awesome Aryan super race” kids half decent names. And even his Dad was a technocrat nazi who despised the peasants. The gene pool behind this fucker should have been laid to waste a long time ago. Absolute parasite.
The replacement part is bullshit made up to hate.
He thinks EVERYONE needs to have more kids as the world is going to run into major problems with population decline, like is happening In Japan if trends continue.
I don’t agree with him, but he is advocating for everyone, not white people.
Edit: and he has talked about this many times, it’s not new.
I don’t understand the fear of population decline. We grow and grow until…?
Less people is better for the planet. But less people means not enough people to support the layer of pyramid above it.
But less people means not enough people to support the layer of pyramid above it.
That’s it isn’t it?
Who’s going to pay for those millions of vacant apartments, and who’s going to support the elderly if there’s not enough people?
Like it or not, there will be a disruption from it if its too sudden, but I don’t see it as the dire thing that he seems to think it is. It’ll eventually sort itself out and we’ll be better for it.
We can’t grow forever. We’ve already made irreversible damage to the planet. Disruption to human comfort is nothing compared to the species and lands that are now forever extinct.
(I’m not sure if we’re on the same page. I read your message two ways)
I agree, we can’t grow forever, I just also think there will be consequences to a declining population, but thats okay, and we’ll get through it. The more gradual we can decline the smoother it’ll be.
Continuing our growth would just be worse in the end.
What consequences do you see? I don’t see anything difficult to overcome. What big picture am I not seeing that you’re talking about?
With the way some country leaders talk about using nuclear weapons these days (Russia and now Israel), it won’t be a gradual decline in world population but a rapid one.
Or else what?
What consequences does he face other than people on the internet calling him mean names?
Morals are for poor people. They’re the only ones who suffer consequences for not having them.
Some people are so poor that all they have is money.
Richest man in the world should just fuck off in his SpaceX rocket.
Right into the sun
I don’t want to be reminded of Musk every time I see the sun.
You don’t have to look right at it
It would be a good memory.

It’s $2,760 for all three kids. Still considerable extra income but kids are expensive.
Is it in Houston or Austin or Dallas?
$2760 isn’t even enough for rent 💀
@return2ozma If the shitstain did not buy twitter he literally could have handed each of his children a billion dollars and still be richer than if he had not bought twitter. He does not appear to be very bright.

TIL that he called his child “X”. What an idiot.
It turns into a mega X child to fight space invaders.
Walzer said Musk and Grimes could spend months just trying to prove which state the kids actually lived in.
That’s putting it lightly. Parental disputes that cross state lines is some of the messiest shit one can go through. Just ooof. Dude probably thinks evaporating $44B on Twitter was rough, he’s just getting started on this shit.
Shock. A billionaire who only cares about themself?
I always wondered why Musk keeps taking X around to all the things and never any of his other kids.
I previously attributed it to getting good PR.
I now sees it’s how he’s going to “win” against Grimes.
Doucheladdle
I mean does anyone feel bad for Grimes?
It’s not like it was some big secret he was an egomaniac years ago.
After watching his management skills in business, I suspect his being a father isn’t a great thing for his kids.
Completely shocking after the amazing role model his dad was.
Something something sins of the father…
