lol
Wikipedia flat out said that they needed donations so that “a few billionaires like Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch” didn’t control information. I must have missed that in this article. The left is still unhinged over Fox, lol.
Wikipedia is always begging for donations, like some lame public radio station.
Take him up on the offer.
I’ve I was the CEO, I’d take it, change the name and then sell the company.
Does Wiki have open books?
Musk has come under withering criticism in some quarters for misinformation on X since he purchased the platform and instituted a number of changes.

It’s only “withering” because Rachael Scully and The Hill are far left lefties and are trying to run some interference for Wikipedia against MUSK. I use Wiki but have stopped reading countless articles due to their “withering” bias.
If we insult you, Elon, will you give JimRob a billion dollars to rename Free Republic?
It’s so fantastic that the richest man in the world is also one of the world’s greatest trolls.
I have used them to get the storyline of a movie. I don’t trust them with history or politics.
Supposedly Wikipedia is groupsourced knowledge, anybody can edit it. Except for propaganda. Someone ( the “IC”? political operatives?) has captured all the politically relevant articles with a fulltime staff.
Stay with me. I hate memorizing randomly generated passwords that have to be changed frequently, and also dont like to record them om a computer or write then down, so I used to memorize equations and constants by converting them to a passphrase and extracting characters and digits to make a password. This way I committed something worth remembering to memory instead of garbage.
So I was going to memorize of the value gas constant R for a password, and not having a reference handy I looked it up on wikipedia. Surely that number is uncontroversial right?
As I read it I realized the value in Wikipedia had to be wrong, because I noticed it was different digits in different units when it should be the same except for a power of ten. (like cgs vs mks).
I looked into the change history, and the middle digit was changed by an edit by an editor with a Chinese sounding name and an ip address that I reverse traced to the Hewlett-Packard campus in the valley.
So my thoughts;
1. can’t even trust physical constants on Wikipedia
2. It could be the usual: censorship and brainwashing,
It could be digital vandalism,
or It could be spycraft, like dead drop indicators (chalk on a sign or rock).
Elon Musk doesn’t need to fund a CIA front group.
