Billionaire Elon Musk offered Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, $1 billion under the condition that it changes its name to “Dickipedia.”

The owner of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, wrote his offer in a post on his site. He had previously posted a screenshot of a personal appeal from Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales stating that the website is “not for sale.”

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

As a website that is user created, the creators should vote on it.

That’s how you know he actually has “frick you” money. Maybe they should take it and quit begging for money for the last 2 months of every year.

They should do it and then watch him try to back out of it.

Wikipedia is far left wing, therefore anti-voting.

I’ll continue to not donate to them if they don’t take this offer.

Random Wikipedia story

For Bob Mann’s (yeah I know) political communication class we had to put together a Wikipedia page for some random topic related to the class. I think I was assigned education reform in Kentucky. Within minutes of publishing my article it got pulled for being inadequate. I think everyone in the class got them pulled. Just a massive clusterfrick assignment

He's doing the same thing an average ole regular guy with extra Billions in his accounts. Seems like 11 but on TD many would say they would do the same thing.
