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.
He's a shit dad all around, which is why his kids hate him.
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
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...
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.
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.
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
just to clarify, is this the kid he used a random password generator to name?
Fuck musk.
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
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.
Iirc he believes that it's his duty to procreate and produce as many white people as possible to prevent replacement.
Some people are so poor that all they have is money.
Reminder. He's a billionaire.
$2760 a month is about $33,120 a year.
According to this calculation, he makes $46,303,000 A DAY.
For context:
At $33,120 a year, he could fund 1,398 child support babies with a single day of work.
And there are Elon-stans.
@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.
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.
After watching his management skills in business, I suspect his being a father isn't a great thing for his kids.
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.

Shock. A billionaire who only cares about themself?
Only? I'd live with that amount of income
It wouldn't even cover the childcare you'd need while you work to keep a roof over all four heads.
An expensive coffee costs $5. For a person that makes $100,000 that's 0.005% of annual income.
Musk's annual cost would be $33,120 for all three kids. I don't know his annual income and because a lot of his worth is in stocks it's probably hard to figure out and highly variable. I'll do some pretty stupid math and say he's worth 185 billion and he's 52, so he's made 3.5 billion a year.
Musk is fighting to pay an annual cost for all three of his three kids of 0.0009% of his annual income, a amount proportionally less than what many spend one day on coffee.
I'm no Muskcuck, but I am in favor of capping the generational transfer of wealth. Let these big inequalities die with this generation and set up a (more) even playing field for the next. If the rich want enhanced educational outcomes for their kids they have to fund public institutions.
Boo hoo, pay the support, you pompous sycophant. It'll be the least amount of money you'll lose compared to the public embarrassment of buying Twitter and losing billions within the year you've bought it.
