I am waiting for the day when governments will have had enough of him (unless he bought those governments because that fucker is fucking rich) - and "Elon Musk" becomes "Felon Musk".

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In the middle of a wave of rampant misinformation, excessive hate speech, and endless harassment, X owner Elon Musk set his sights on Wikipedia.

Not to be outdone by his own tweet, Musk immediately followed it up with a challenge: “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia.”

Beyond its status as the largest and “most-read reference work in history,” Wikipedia has long been heralded as a product of both massive fundraising and an internet full of people obsessed with very specific things.

Earlier this month, Musk called the internet encyclopedia “wokipedia,” after co-founder Wales criticized rampant misinformation on X.

(An October report from NBC found that the Community Notes program has allowed known war misinformation to thrive on the platform unchecked for hours.)

For Rauwerda’s own purposes, right now that includes the description of zoo animals as celebrities in 19th-century American news and a serial defecator in Colorado nicknamed the Mad Pooper.


The original article contains 772 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Wikipedia should've agreed. Imagine for minimum a year, the whole world opening Wikipedia, gets reminded on the clown Elon Musk, again and again.

He wants to fit ~~425TB~~ 428TB of content on his phone. Man is a fucking genius. I love how his own platform is calling out his bullshit 😂
