    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.

      Small reminder that Elon Musk doesn’t have that money in his bank account.

      The only reason why his net worth is that high is because he has stock in the stupidly overinflated (and now quickly deflating) Tesla.

      He had to pull loads of stock from tesla to buy twitter (after he was forced to do so by courts because he said he would) and still had to borrow money because he simply doesn’t have 44 billion. Quick side note: payments with interest for those loans are due, good luck paying those billions from a company that lost.over half its value, asshole!

      If he pulls all his tesla stock then telsa would completely crash, he’ll never get access to anything near 166 billion.

      I’m sure he has a few millions in liquid assets, but he is VERY far from making millions per day. The way he’s going right now, his ex wife better hurry because he’ll be bankrupt within a few years.

        His Money in the Bank Account and his Net Worth are 2 different Pairs of Shoe but Elon takes a Credit for Multiple Millions (cheaper than having a Wage) and then giving them Stocks as Security.

        He totally can afford to have his Child getting more than 33k in a Year.

    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.

        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.

            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.

      Its even crazier than that.

      With his first wife, their first child died of sides and they actively used IVF. They then had a set of twins and a set of triplets (I’m assuming they were all via IVF, but I’m not sure). One of those children is the estranged trans person who changed their last name.

      His two children with Grimes (including the one this article is about) were via surrogate.

      He’s not just refusing to wear a condom. He’s a lively spending thousands of dollars, and women are undergoing surgery, in order to have children for him to neglect. It’s bizarre.

    @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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 and he’s 52, so he’s made 3.5 billion a year.

    Musk is fighting to pay an annual cost for all the of his three kids of 0.0009% of his annual income, a amount proportionally less than what many spend one day on coffee.

      Consider also that the median household income is $74,580 and is actually on the decline from a couple of years ago. The median household income.

      Again, no. Musks networth was somewhere around 160 billion because of stocks in the stupidly overinflated tesla. The tesla bubble is already inflating like hell and with that I’m sure he’s losing networth like hell. If he continues current course he’ll be bankrupt withing a few years.

      Either way, the money he has in his bank accounts is NOT the same and probably in the tens of millions tops.

    I love how all we need to do to find loop holes in the system is try to apply a law to the rich and see how they try to wiggle out of it. Then we close that loop hole. Seems like a pretty good system to me!

      What’s the loop hole ? It’s over 32,000 a year for the child. A child doesn’t require 32,000 a year. The mother wants to move the case and get more child support so she can use it on her self and her life style.
