- catch23 16y agoHoly crap... that wife is definitely sketch. How in the world did he end up with her?
- sbierwagen 16y agoThinking with his genitalia, perhaps? Check out her biblography! I'm the author of three published novels: the dark fantasies BLOODANGEL and LORD OF BONES (Roc/Penguin) and the YA supernatural thriller UNINVITED (MTV/Simon&Schuster). I also have stories in the MAMMOTH BOOK OF VAMPIRE ROMANCE 2 and ZOMBIES: ENCOUNTERS WITH THE HUNGRY DEAD.
- antidaily 16y agoWell, she appears to be fairly attractive.
- chasingsparks 16y agoYes, especially considering her profession. The women I know who are into sci-fi do not look like that.
- Aetius 16y agoalimony and child support 6 million cash 10 percent of his stock in Tesla 5 percent of his stock in SpaceX (and he retains all voting rights) and a Tesla Roadster (I really, really want one...) I don't want to go through the trouble of normalizing this wish list into a scalar percentage, but it seems like a lot less than half of his assets... Would you take the deal?
- lionhearted 16y ago> I don't want to go through the trouble of normalizing this wish list into a scalar percentage, but it seems like a lot less than half of his assets... Yeah, I thought so too, so I figured she must be really, really cool and grateful to be with such an amazing guy and have kids with him and an amazing life, so she wanted to keep it friendly and not try to take him to the cleaners. Then I read a couple of her blog posts, and no, she doesn't seem like she wants to keep it friendly. So I was confused, and did some Googling: "The case highlights an aspect of Orange County and other Southern California divorce proceedings that is not often publicized: the post-marital agreement (which is less well-known, at least to the public, than are prenuptial agreements). Justine contends that the agreement she signed shortly after the couple wed is "extremely harsh" and has asked the California divorce court to throw it out." http://www.orangecountydivorcelawyerblog.com/prenuptial-agreements/2010/05/ http://www.orangecountydivorcelawyerblog.com/prenuptial-agre... So, maybe that sheds some light on it.
- jacquesm 16y agoThen she probably shouldn't have signed it.
- sethg 16y agoI am not a lawyer and, not having read the Musks’ post-nup, I have no opinion about whether or not it is valid. However, every real-world legal system since the beginning of time has put limits on what kinds of signed agreements between two people can be enforced as contracts under the law, and everyone who has run a multimillion-dollar businesses is aware of this. If the contract that Mrs. Musk signed was unconscionably unfair to her, Mr. Musk probably should not have drafted it in the first place.
- jacquesm 16y agoI take it she had a lawyer review it before signing it, as is customary in such situations.

- lionhearted 16y agoInteresting to see this a few days after the "taking the awkwardness out of a prenup discussion" - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1374169 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1374169 I commented on my personal views there - "[Community property is fine if] no one stands to lose besides you, but I feel like it'd be personally pretty irresponsible of me to enter into a situation where divorce could ruin not just my business and life, but my staff, suppliers, clients, and people who count on me. Some people might say, "But if you have a great marriage and pick the right woman it wouldn't happen!" To that I say... Everyone thinks that way and quite a few of them turn out to be mistaken... I don't think my judgment is infallible, and I refuse to put other people's lives and livelihood unnecessarily at risk." I'm starting to think there's a societal shift in that direction. LeBron James is one of the most successful and high profile athletes on the planet, has two children with his girlfriend while unmarried, and he doesn't get any flak for it. His Wikipedia page just says: "James has two children with his high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson. The first, LeBron James Jr., was born on October 6, 2004,[70] and the second, Bryce Maximus James, on June 14, 2007." I think there's a bit of a generational gap. I see a line around people who were born roughly before or after 1970. People who came of age in the 1980's or later seem to be much less fazed by the idea of a man not merging finances in the traditional way. I'm not entirely sure why, maybe some sort of view taking hold that you're doing incredibly important things, then the traditional economic marriage arrangement means you stand to lose a lot. Combine that with the fact that even someone trying their best and generally upholding their end of the marriage bargain can be divorced against their will and I think some people are seeing it as a bad arrangement to get into. I think about this sometimes, but I haven't fully flushed it out in my mind. Anyone else have thoughts on the topic?
