Elon Musk jokingly offered online encyclopedia site Wikipedia $1 billion to change its name to an inappropriate joke.
Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, joked over the weekend that he would offer a billion dollars for a crude joke. Musk mocked open-source encyclopedia site Wikipedia on Sunday, offering to "give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia." "In the interests of accuracy," he added, referencing professional and academic communities' avoidance of the website due to its freely editable system.
The joke was part of a longer series of posts criticizing the online encyclopedia that continued into the next days. Of particular scorn was the Wikimedia Foundation — the nonprofit in charge of Wikipedia — which Musk questioned for its frequent appeals for donations from users. "Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money? It certainly isn’t needed to operate Wikipedia," he wrote on X.
