There's more to the article, but the adverts on the site are pissing me off for the copy and paste on my phone. Sorry folks.

Elon Musk urged his supporters not to donate to the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia after the organization budgeted more than $50 million to spend on controversial diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
“Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority,” Musk wrote Tuesday on X, where he has nearly 210 million followers.
The Tesla mogul, and key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, was responding to a post by the right-leaning commentator “Libs of TikTok,” who shared a pie chart that showed 29% of Wikipedia’s $177 million budget for 2023-24 was targeted for “equity” and “safety & inclusion.“
“Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority,” Musk wrote Tuesday on X, where he has nearly 210 million followers.
The Wikimedia Foundation site said that it set a goal of spending $51.7 million in its budget: 17.6% ($31.2 million) on equity, and 11.6% ($20.5 million) on safety and inclusion. Infrastructure got the bulk of the $177 million with 48.7% ($86.1 million), followed by 22.2% ($39.2 million) on effectiveness.

Libs of TikTok, who get fact checked more than almost any other Twitter account, is definitely where Elon should be getting this information from.

Wikipedia is literally garbage. It weighs second hand sources like what journalist say over first hand sources and facts.

Libs of Tik Tok simply displays leftists in their natural habitat.

I’ve always wondered who would be dumb enough to donate to Wikipedia? I have never considered giving them a dime.

wikipedia is disallowed as a 'quoteable source' at almost every educational institute, for a reason.

that why you go to the citations and read those sources when you’re doing a research paper.
But the group that thinks free speach dies if you can’t tweet about seem like book readers.

That donation screen they've got on their site really makes it seem like they are fighting to keep the lights on.
Deceptive shite. These kind of donations and agendas just makes them lose even more credibility when combined with that donations screen.
