Why Does Elon Musk Hate Wikipedia?

"History is written by the victors" is supposed to be a negative phrase about revisionist history lmao

[Teqnifii]

When people say "history is written by the victors, " that is a criticism of the limitations of history. It is insane that Musk not only believes that this is good, but that it should happen more.

Wikipedia has its faults, but for what it is its really impressive. The way the founders were able to motivate users to catalog, fact check, and develop really robust articles about... everything for casual readers to educate themselves on. It's an actual marvel.

If we ever lose Wikipedia I will have no hope left for the internet.

I love how he is at war with like fucking reality itself. He was not one of the founders of Tesla. He was an early investor.

Wikipedia as a primary source is spotty at best, but Wikipedia as a resource for GATHERING primary sources is something that humanity can never be allowed to give up.

So basically, Elon Musk is mad that his Wikipedia article actually states the truth instead of the lie that he's trying to convince the world is true.

[Skeleleman]

It was funny seeing people's perception of Elon go from real life "Genius Tony Stark Ironman" to " dumb billionaire manchild crybaby".

[asdanjer]

The fact that Elon Musk is mad at it is the ultimate seal of aproval.

Musk trying to buy Wikipedia is the best reason to donate to Wikipedia I've ever heard. Can't let that man ruin an actually credible site

[Zenit_Bourg]

I consider Wikipedia as the last remnant of non-algorithmic internet. It's insane how IRL everything is laser focused to make you participate in the market with advertising and rigid home-work routine. The internet used to be the refuge from all of that stuff but lately has been treated the same.

How are humans 75% water when this dude is 100% salt?

The more time you spend looking at Recent conflicts around the world, Political or not, the more you see that theres always a misinformation war involved.

[fusionsub]

As an editor myself, Elon Musk owning Wikipedia is a horrific thought.

[TheThinKing]

Wikipedia isn't refreshingly dull, it's just refreshing. It is endlessly new, instead of antisocial media throwing the same hateclick nonsense around day after day for years

[ksalieri]

If he founded Tesla he probably would have called it Xcars or something.

[andrewb]

He hates what he can’t own and control. Megalomaniac.

[rath]

Over the years I have come to learn that Elon Musk is the prime example of why billionaires shouldn't exist

[yukko_parra]

often, teachers tell us not to use wikipedia
but instead, they should be teaching us how to use it to begin our research investigations.
