He manages his personal finances and hires bodyguards and private eyes. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=8) Elon would connect us to discuss certain areas of concern. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=15) He was responsible for the disbursement of all the funds and all the money. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=21) This will come with a basic agreement that basically says, "I understand that I'm accepting this money and that it's to be used for these purposes, and I understand that confidentiality and privacy is very important to the father." [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=36) Basically just that. So an NDA as well. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=41) Uh, yeah. The NDA that he had provided me was labeled as a child support agreement. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=50) It was a lump sum of $15 million and then $100,000 a month for 21 years. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=56) Did the other mothers sign one? [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=60) Did the... Uh, yeah, absolutely. Well, they don't seem too happy, do they? [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=64) Um, I mean, I don't think a drugged out, uh, musician is ever going to find true happiness, and, uh, I think Yvon goes in and out of finding contentment. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=81) Jared was very adversarial. I don't know how to characterize someone who degrades and borderline threatens a woman who's freshly postpartum. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=101) Elon is a very big-hearted, kind, and generous person. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=105) But when a mother of his children or a woman in general who he, uh, trusted and/or, you know, had a relationship with decides that they're gonna go the legal route, that always, always leads to a worse outcome- Yeah ... for that woman than, than what it would've been otherwise. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=123) W- you know, what did you opt into? W- were you opting into a retirement plan or were you opting into a child? [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=130) Being a mom. What's that? Being a mom. I was covering Elon Musk for the Wall Street Journal when I started speaking with Ashley. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=141) It was very clear from the phone call and some of the corresponding text messages that they had a system in place. [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=150) Under this NDA that she's told to sign, she would not be able to reveal the paternity of this child to anyone other than that child. [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=163) She didn't feel like that was a bargain she wanted to take. [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=167) I told him, "I cannot in good conscience sign that document." [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=172) She came out with a tweet saying that she had mothered one of his children, and that's when he really began distancing himself and even casting doubt as to whether he was the father. [3:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=184) After she put out the tweet announcing that the baby was Elon's, Elon revoked the $15 million payment, and he reduced her stipend from $100,000 a month to $40,000 a month, and then he halved the payment again. [3:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=200) This was financial retaliation for speaking out. [3:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/79CmsBDSAVEI/en/elon-musk-ashley-and-the-alleged-child-support-nda?t=203) It was almost as if he didn't show a certain side of himself until after I had our baby.
