    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”.

                Dude he has so much money he spends on trivial shit like buying Twitter and flying on jets. Who cares if the wife gets some of the money? She’s doing all the care. Does he really hate her that much?

                It’s shameful to be so rich and you still fight to reduce the amount of support money for your family (kids and their Mum). I bet when she was in his bed he promised her everything in the world back then.
