Behind the X owner’s trolling is a years long obsession with the internet’s favorite encyclopedia, says Depths of Wiki creator Annie Rauwerda.
Just...ignore him. He's an attention-whore - this is what they do to stay relevant. Downvote articles/comments talking about him. Don't give these sites traffic, stop saying his name, and stop mentioning his sites and his stupidness.
Just stop feeding the attention whore.
Wikipedia itself should withdraw its article about this Australopithecus, he simply does not deserve to be on Wikpedia
I think he does deserve. In fact, there should be more details about his fuckery. How he fucks with whole world and is a - as @speff@disc.0x-ia.moe noted - attention removed
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the middle of a wave of rampant misinformation, excessive hate speech, and endless harassment, X owner Elon Musk set his sights on Wikipedia.
Not to be outdone by his own tweet, Musk immediately followed it up with a challenge: “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia.”
Beyond its status as the largest and “most-read reference work in history,” Wikipedia has long been heralded as a product of both massive fundraising and an internet full of people obsessed with very specific things.
Earlier this month, Musk called the internet encyclopedia “wokipedia,” after co-founder Wales criticized rampant misinformation on X.
(An October report from NBC found that the Community Notes program has allowed known war misinformation to thrive on the platform unchecked for hours.)
For Rauwerda’s own purposes, right now that includes the description of zoo animals as celebrities in 19th-century American news and a serial defecator in Colorado nicknamed the Mad Pooper.
The original article contains 772 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I would have officially named it Dickipedia in a way it does not emphasize the first word at all for a week, while crediting it to Elon's generous donation on the main page, then the week after change it back... Nobody said it had to be forever. 'Now about that billion, Mr Musk...' 😅
Wikipedia has already been ruined by a billionaire, namely its founder.
I mean "ruined" is a bit strong, right? I'm no fan of Jimmy Wales but Wikipedia is still pretty good IMO for non-political stuff. It's my first choice to look up math stuff so on that basis alone it gets my vote.
Not everything can be bought, that's a good thing.
