Elon Musk goes after Wikipedia, asks where all the money goes

[Gezzer]

Would someone just shut him up? I've got an old sock that's missed the wash a few times I'll donate to the cause. Just stuff it deep enough that he'll have to take sometime to dislodge it. I donate about 10 bucks once a year to the Wiki foundation and consider it money well spent no matter how the funds are dispersed. More importantly I'd rather spend it than any money on that mess he made out of twitter.

I think you have to specify what scandal.

You don't seem to be someone searching for truth but simply someone trying to pass your opinion off as truth (a pretty common issue from people editing Wikipedia articles).

Bruh...
Either you are pretending, or ignorant (even after being told). What do you mean what scandal...? How about the one in this very article... or the one Elon refences... or the one the Co-founder of Wikipedia had a sit down interview, about how Wikipedia was taken ovr (is controlled currently) by the CCP and ovr 100k continuous Chinese editors. Or how Wikipedia co-owners witnessed CIA changing entries themselves (ie hacking into wikipedia). There is a whole interview you seem to dismiss and jump past, just to make it about me...?

You don't seem like anyone who is interest in listening to the truth, but instead of dismissing the messenger....!

The article was about Musk questioning the cost of running one of the largest and most often visited sites on the internet. It wasn't a scandal. You'd think Musk would know how much it costs to run these things. Anyone, including the CIA and the CCP, can edit pages. The changes will simply get rolled back by the editors if wrong. In extreme cases the relevant pages will get locked and users banned. That's just how the system works.

So...
This article doesn't cover a scandal.
Elon Musk said some things, didn't bring up a scandal.
Whether CCP should be editing or not, it's an open site so anyone can edit; bad edits will be reverted.
And finally, witnessing CIA editing articles (if true) is in no way hacking, it's an open site and anyone can edit; if they made bad edits, those can be reverted too.

So, what REAL scandal were you referring to then?
I do think it's possible Wikipedia could spend their money a bit better; but, really, Musk has not been doing a good job with his finances of late so I don't feel like it's his place to criticize. It'd be hilarious of Wikipedia DID change the name, and when he definitely doesn't pay up they get him in court.

lulz^
Correct, (the Data is already there & would fit on 4tb of storage).....
People who edit it, are not employees... their operating costs are essentially just having to house the servers, so again.... why do you need so much to run Wikipedia...?

Elon is asking a subtle, much bigger question, to get people like you, learning.



No, the CCP and CIA can not just edit pages. <---crazy & there mere fact you believe this illustrates you are unaware of the Individual Company's rights, along with American rights, protected by the US Constitution. Government agencies can not interfere... and those who do are corrupt.

This is a big thing right in American discourse with US's own agencies treading ovr the Constitution and how the next few years they will be reigned in, for trying to direct public interests.

Wikipedia is sold as open source, when it's actually a massive propaganda machine.

You do not have to believe me, you can just ask the co-creator who is the one who has done many Interviews and have discussed how it's being done, etc. You have enough to learn on your own and google things now.

Don't forget to thank Elon for opening your eyes...

"Elon is asking a subtle, much bigger question..."

No, he isn't. Musk doesn't *do* subtle. You obviously haven't been paying attention LOL.

He's also incapable of nuance or perspective judging by the tripe he (and his sheep-like stans) spout non-stop...

->Twitter<- ->reputation<-

If it had any, it was known for porn, CP and where the mentally ill people are converging. At least he cracked down on the CP part.
