Now we know why he was so anxious to move to TX.
I think the world's richest man (or one of the world's richest men) paying $2760 a month for three kids for child support is abysmal. Because even a payment of $1 million a month would mean nothing to him. I don't think he is looking out for the best interests of his children. Isn't he the one who is pushing people to repopulate the earth?
I had a friend who paid out more than $2760 monthly in child support for two kids and his ex-wife had a good paying job too ($80K). And he earned around $90K a year. This was back in 2008. His ex-wife found herself a stay-at-home husband who was with the kids while she worked. She could do that because the child support payment was huge. He also was to pay half of health insurance and any day care (if needed). They were able to split the equity of their house, so she ended up extending the mortgage on her house but it was still a low payment.
Even with the huge child support those poor kids would always arrive in the same clothing for all visitation and the clothing would be visibly too small. Also, he had to pay for activities because his ex refused to pay for any activities for the kids. It got to the point where they had new clothes for their stay with him only because the kids would always arrive in the same rags. The older child had jeans that ended on his calves instead of at his ankles because they were too small and way too short. There was no doubt his ex benefitted far more from the divorce than he did.
I can see Elon being just like my friend's ex-wife. Abysmal. I heard that he lives in what is basically a tiny house in TX and doesn't want to spend any money on anything, including decent food. He is beyond a cheap skate. You'd have to work hard to find a man who is a bigger cheap skate unless it is out of necessity.
He grew up privileged and to deny any privilege to his kids is just wrong. I feel bad for all his kids, they will probably not want to have a relationship with him when they are adults.
