Someone get this asshole to get into a submarine

Alternate headline:

“Massive shitcunt threatens to destroy the actual best part of the internet to the surprise of absolutely no one”

is what they meant to say

Incidentally, do you guys remember when this fuckhead was a darling of the left?

These are strange times.

Stop posting Musk's fucking face. This isn't tech

Someone should tell Elon that an unprofitable website and a non-profit website are not the same thing.

Deeply unwelcome. I hate that this is even a thought that he has had.

I completely hate how something that is a rare Bastian of maintaining free and reliable factual information for the world is just a silly game for him. It sickens me. This is the kind of cartoon character rich villain that throws money a people and shouts at them to dance for him.

I donated to Wikipedia, today. A few bucks to a very valuable site.

The entirety of the Musk sycophant Twitter sphere lost their mind about Wikipedia’s finances this week. Only because this dipshit tweeted a lie. Crazy how people can’t fathom that a non-profit that runs one of the most successful websites ever has high costs because they pay their engineers well. These people truly believe that everyone working at a non-profit should get starvation wages.

Stop giving the attention whore attention.

Ive responded elsewhere in this thread, and think we are otherwise aligned against this cunt, so maybe, just maybe this is a good time to give Wikipedia one of your hard earned dollars? One dollar.

https://donate.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give

Tax billionaires out of existence.

Of course the community driven, anarchic nature of Wikipedia is a threat to the status quo of capitalists dominating society. Musk can't stand this, because it shows how ultra wealthy, incompetent dicktators like him are unnecessary.

DON'T YOU THREATEN SOMETHING I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT, FUCKER.

But seriously, I can't imagine the fine folks at Wikimedia seeing what happened to shitter and thinking there's any value in having him in charge.

You suck, Lonnie. Go away.

can a wiki editor plz change his main profile pic to that balding paypal one he loves so much? k thnx bai.

Ah. So this os the end goal - obtain very popular and influential things on the internet - in this case communication and knowledge/facts, and destroy them in such a way that only technofascists like himself can even find them remotely useful.

It’s the ultimate way to fuck up any democratic society and plunge the world further into chaos. What a dumpster fire.

So he did get Twitter just to ruin it and take it away from the left. This proves it, because he wants to do it again to Wikipedia whilst calling it "Wokipedia" like a broken, right wing soundboard. Neither platform allowed lies and, since it's the right and their only move is lies, in his view that makes them biased. Elon intentionally sabotaged twitter because it wouldn't let him and his rich cunt friends lie and now they want to do it to Wikipedia. He genuinely doesn't have a moral foundation, it's just lies and manipulation all the way down to his shriveled, rotten core.

“I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to D**kipedia.”

This is what we’re working with. A small child.

He'll probably rename it "X-pedia".

Musk is always looking for his next high. He desperately wants that bong hit of attention that getting his name in the news brings to him. He's an attention whore, who can afford to burn through billions of dollars. I'm surprised he didn't buy Reddit years ago.

At least it reminded me to renew my annual donation to Wikipedia. Fucking Muskunt.

I've donated in the past and, thanks to the big baby, I think I'll make a donation again

“I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia.”

is such promise legally binding in US? it would be fun to take billion dollars from him and i am pretty sure we could all survive wiki being renamed for a day...

Just facists destroying faith in everything that’s not them. Normal modus operandi. These people need sheep who are so confused what to believe that they don’t trust anyone anymore and instead substitute trust for blind faith.

What about we all fund his trip to the Mars or whatever, but only one way.

Hell no. Wikipedia is the last untainted place of the internet

Hasn't he learned anything from Wikia/Fandom?

The WoWWiki and RuneScape Wiki communities ditched Wikia due to them plastering the fuck out of their wikis with tonnes of intrusive ads.

Heck, the WoW community had to ditch Wowpedia (WoWWiki's successor) to found a new wiki because Gamepedia was bought out by Fandom, the company that Wikia eventually became. Fandom ended up pulling the exact same shit soon after.

As for RuneScape, its wiki is hosted by Jagex themselves.

Musk buying Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation would end in financial disaster. Nothing would be stopping people from jumping ship to an alternative.

He always talks a lot of shit and pussies out. He don't do anything unless by court order.

Elon, if you want to make money from the internet, move into a Skinner box panopticon where users can pay to give you electric shocks.

God-tier title

Is Wikipedia even buyable by cunt muffins like Elmo?

It is a non-profit organization.
