At a time when many social-media sites have abandoned their safeguards against mis- and disinformation, Wikipedia is a bastion of transparency and accessible knowledge. So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has been attacking it.

Elon is quickly turning into a fascist troll monster with such NONSENSE after supporting nazi lovers in Europe, BABLING AROUND with a chainsaw and making a nazi styled salute!
One of the worst bosses for whom I worked used to log into Wikipedia and rewrite articles to "prove" her side in arguments. She even admitted to doing so, with a smile.
Yeah, Musk doesn’t own it, can’t buy it and his fragile ego has a real serious problem dealing with the truth when he can’t manipulate it into a shape that is favorable to him, so of course he’s going to attack it and have his sycophantic peon Robo-minions follow suit. Free speech is “his speech”
Look up conservapedia. It's like a satire of itself in all the ignorance and lying hoo-hoo. It's also like a grievance-laden voice of Trump's base they think Woke and DEI have been trying to silence.
Fork Wikipedia. Anyone can go to https://dumps.wikimedia.org to download a copy of Wikipedia's articles so that a fork or replacement can be quickly set up if Wikipedia goes bankrupt for any reasons (i.e. scandals).
He wants everyone to see the world from his perspective, but given the amount of incorrect information he has posted, and the amount of hateful rhetoric he as both stated and elevated, I don't see why anyone should see things from his point of view.
The revolting thing about him & his sm platform is the hypocrisy in which the algorithm & bot functions. Allowing paid accounts to slander and denigrate others, while bowing to lobbyists to get benign accounts banned, is total ~£#<‘!!!!!!!!
R u the site owner? I just heard BlueSky has acknowledged it needs tweaking, to connect more like-minded people to one another.
As my friend agreed, there needs 2 b a gr8 deal on monitoring, vetting & due diligence to prevent it from attracting those w/ulteriour motives of money-making, like MeetUp.
Speaking of, more stringent vetting needs 2 take place here. I left X bc hypocrisy w/paid accts allowed 2 post any & everything, & YIMBOs telling boomers 2 die.
Barely 1 week into my acct, I received F** off u gop scum (he spelled out the word). Looks like I’ll never kno if he gets banned (reported)
Aren’t they all? Deep down these conservatives are just scared. Scared of change and others, because they don’t have the capabilities or emotional skills to operate on a fair playing field with others as equals. Instead they are only comfortable with a feeling of authority over the rest: safe.
That is literally the traditional definition of conservative, however that is the antithesis of the current definition of what conservatism is. Today’s conservatism is simply a redefinition of fascism.
I donate but find errors on the site. Sometimes they say they’re right but I only comment on the jazz musicians I’ve written about so I know they’re wrong.

Listened to this, at 2.75x of JRE #2281 Elon Musk
Joe: "Oh, wasn't it? That's a funny narrative that people like to say that you didn't even create Tesla then"
elon "Yeah, that's wrong."

Never thought we'd see the rise of Snowflake Fascists.
