From the article:

“In 2018, Musk tweeted his intentions to create a website named Pravda where the general public could rate the "core truth" of any article and "track the credibility score" of journalists, editors, and their publications.”

Should do it!

I wouldn’t name it “Pravda” though. That was the name of “the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.” (Per Wikipedia)

A fool and his money... you know the rest. Elon, STFU and get back to your own business. Wikipedia does not deserve a penny, your petty offer is nonsensical.

Unless it is the most trivial topic, Wikipedia reads like the editorial page of Pravda and the New York Times.

Never give them a penny.

When I was pursuing my Master’s, my professor stated any papers sourcing Wiki would get an automatic fail.

I think wiki is part of deep state, so I’ve heard.

And they always manage to write up every miniscule “infraction” (real or made up) for every GOP or Conservative individual to make them look like horrible people. While, conversely, the Demonrats and Stalinazi loons get write ups to make them look like heroes to the proletariat.

He's one of the richest men in the world, and he wasn't born into it. The idea of anyone here calling Musk a fool is...well, pathetic. Like him or not, he's one of the best minds in the world today.

I thought it was a joke. It’s funnier because it’s true. (Couldn’t find it on wickipedia)
