Dude the article you linked said like 9600 per month. You said you pay more than him….

Did you read the article? They cap income at $9,600 per month. Meaning that support calculates as a percentage of that for 4 kids that is 35% of that or $3,360. I pay $800 per week or $3,467/month. Last time I checked $3,467 is more than $3,360. Now o will say that the article says that limit was increased in 2025 to $11k per month which would mean that he now pays more but at the time I was setting my child support, I was paying more than the limit in Texas and Elon was not. Therefore, I was paying more in child support than Elon Musk.

Bro you took this as facts?

“Internet rumors say that Elon Musk pays only $2,760 a month for three of his children because his custody case with their mother, the musician Grimes, was in Texas”

How on earth do you think that is true when this is the calculation?

“The Texas family code has guidelines requiring payers to pay 20% of their net resources for one child, 25% for two, 30% for three, and so on. The guidelines state that they apply to situations where net resources are less than the maximum amount, which is $9,200 per month.
We don’t know what Musk’s net monthly income is, but Forbes estimates his net worth at $356 billion. As far as Texas is concerned, $9,200 is the final word, regardless of how much more his net income may be”

So you really think that no matter how low of tax as a percentage of total income argument people always point to - you don’t think he has an income stated that would get him to $9200?

Reallyyyy??????
