Elon offers Wikipedia $ 1 billion to change their name to Dickipedia
The X owner has no time for a democratic experiment dedicated to knowledge. He would rather yell puerile ‘jokes’ into the ether, writes Zoe Williams
![Why is Elon Musk attacking Wikipedia? Because its very existence offends him | Zoe Williams](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a6b1365f-11c9-44bd-850a-78b2d84ecf39.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.
All of the wrong people have money.

69 0 ReplyGuillotine that nazi fuck. Way past time for some French revolution.
68 0 ReplyMore evidence to support taxing the fuck out of billionaires. No one needs that much money.
68 0 ReplyI'm starting to think this guy isn't very wise about spending his money.
63 0 ReplyHe's trying to distract from the probe into Tesla's range. It's working.
53 0 ReplyThat man child has the emotions and humour of a little kid, I swear.
38 0 ReplyNever donated to Wikipedia before... this shit changed that in a hurry.
37 0 ReplyMaybe Elon should just donate a billion because he supposedly cares about free information so much?
33 0 ReplyTo everyone thinking Wikipedia should go with the deal and then change the name back.
It's like taking money for doing d*ck tatoo on forehead and then doing laser removal, humiliation. No foundation or company should show they are craving for money by doing anything someone would pay for.
28 0 ReplyI offer Elon $1 to change his name to Doge McCumStain. I hope he will accept my generous offer.
28 0 ReplyWhy do we let this man-child have billions of dollars?
26 0 ReplyHe paid 44bln and hasn't even changed twitter.com yet. Don't expect him to pay up.
25 0 ReplySounds like a good idea for a wikipedia page. Put Elon's picture on it.
21 0 ReplyFor shits and giggles, the Foundation should absolutely get lawyers to put together a binding agreement to this effect and send it to Elon to sign.
… and then watch him run away
19 0 ReplyWhat a fool. Why do we let the worst people take the most from us?
18 0 ReplyChance the name for an hour, display only Elon’s wiki page and sue the dickhead.

12 0 ReplyFor a billion I'd change my name to that.
10 0 ReplyDoes he stipulate for how long? If not, change it for a day, take his money, change it back, and give Elongated Muskrat the finger.
7 0 Replyhe seems to be speed running the tesla bankruptcy arc
6 0 ReplyI'd give Elon 1 billion picoDollars to change his name to Dickipedia. Rounded down.
6 0 ReplyWikipedia is already rich enough, donate to the contributors instead
5 0 ReplyHe should keep it and rename himself. It suits him more.
4 0 ReplyI'd give Elly 1$ to suck that pedia.
3 0 ReplyThat's really funny actually
3 0 ReplyThis is so douchey. Why not just give that money to Wikipedia? Or even a smaller amount? As the largest free information resource in the world, Wikipedia is an invaluable asset for humanity as a whole. Just feels weird to say, "I'll give you money, but do a trick first," to anyone, let alone the holders of a free, worldwide encyclopedia.
Wikipedia is a useful tool, Elon is a major tool.
2 0 ReplyI'd actually take that in their shoes. That's a lot of money, who cares if the English edition gets a silly name.
1 0 ReplyBecause israel controls wikipedia. Wake up sheeples. They say it clearly. Learn about hasbara. Google it hasbara influence on wikipedia.
