Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

    And let him destroy wikipedia?

    You are aware that Musk isn’t doing what he’s done to Xitter because he’s stupid, right? That he’s very intentionally destroying the platform, and that was a platform purchased at 44 billion?

    Seriously?

      It’s not like he’s buying it, it’s just an agreement on a change of name

        Idk, names are pretty fucking important to search engines.

        Although, they could pull an ultra 5head omega brain move and change the name alongside a policy that allows anyone to change wikipedias name similarly to it’s articles. Maybe let it last a week for notoriety, change the policy back alongside the name and pocket the money.

          I guarantee if Wikipedia changed names today, there’d be 0 issues finding it even immediately after the change.

            Probably, unless they accept even more ez money from Papa Musk for other stupid things.

      I can’t say I’m aware of that

        Troll him at the expense of the search engine that likely keeps them afloat.

        I don’t want Musk to influence social media anymore than he already has.
