    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 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!

        He wouldn’t be paying it to his kids though, but their mom.

        $3k in child support is more than most get, who said he hasn’t set up a trust fund for the kid when it grows up / isn’t giving it stocks / inheritance?

          Because there’s no way he could possibly do both of those things.

          And he definitely should be paying lawyers to fight this in court. I’m sure his kids will really love to hear about that one day.

            Again, the kid’s gonna have enough support to have a comfortable childhood, much more than the average child probably.

            This money is going to the mom, Musk might not want that, and I honestly think that the majority people would feel the same way in his place.

            Don’t get me wrong, Musk is a dumbass, but people around here get blinded by emotions and hatred towards him and don’t even try to think about the situation at all.

              How would you like it if you heard that your dad, the richest man in the world, fought against paying child support for you because it would only go to your mother anyway?

              Do you think that would make you think highly of your dad?

                Depends entirely on the circumstances.

                Did I have a nice childhood? Did I get to go to all the clubs I wanted to go to? Did I get the education I wanted?

                In my opinion, having too much money is harmful for a child, best to keep it in a fund for college / a downpayment.

                3k a month is enough.

                  “My billionaire dad fought against giving me a lot of money when I was a kid because too much money is harmful for a child. He flew on his private jet and then drove in his luxury car to the trial to make sure I wasn’t harmed by money. That’s why I love and respect him.” Yes, that sounds plausible. I’m sure they wouldn’t think their billionaire dad living his billionaire lifestyle didn’t skimp out on them because he had a college fund for them.

                    You’re still dodging the real point.

                    Child support != money given to the child.

                    You have no idea what he’s giving to the child directly, yet you keep complaining about not giving obscure amounts of money to the child’s mother, by clothing it up as “daddy doesn’t care about the child”.

              And the money he saves, it’s going to go to the kids then? He’s the gooniest dragon, hoarding all his precious gold and 360-no-scoping the most 13-year-old-edgelord takes he can to impress the people he actually cares about, the worst people in America and around the world.
