He's going through a massive divorce that could cost him billions.



Which divorce? He must have had an ironclad pre-nup with Riley.


Assuming its 'his' to begin with. Not hers already?


Exactly. It's the marriage that costs you half your assets, not the divorce.


...and gains you plenty too!

It's not just men that can "have everything taken from them".

Portraying yourself as some sort of "victim of the system" because other people can get married doesn't exactly seem like the strongest way of arguing against asset division during divorce.


I'm quite sure that Musk is the one responsible for the increase in value of his companies, not someone who's been uninvolved in running them.


Having someone parent your kids while you work 120 hours a week is pretty useful. It's the opinion of the courts that that job is worth exactly half of whatever the working spouse brings home. If you don't like that arrangement what's the point of being married in the first place?


...said somebody totally unacquainted with marriage.


I am able to concentrate on growing my career because of my spouse, not in spite of them.


That's not the case for everyone.
