    Mmm,

    Mmhmm

    Oh

    Musk’s actions and expressed views have made him a polarizing figure. He has been criticized for making unscientific and misleading statements, including COVID-19 misinformation; affirming antisemitic and transphobic comments, and promoting conspiracy theories. His ownership of Twitter has been controversial because of the layoffs of a large number of employees, an increase in posts containing hate speech, misinformation and disinformation on the website, and changes to website features, including verification.

    Ah, that’s probably why. People are allowed to expose him without being censored on wiki.

    I actually wasn’t going to donate to Wikipedia this year because I’m pretty strapped but fuck it. I’m donating more than I did last year I can put more stuff on a credit card this season instead.

    Fuck Elon Musk. And fuck anyone who buys his stupid fucking cars.

    i don’t get what problem you would have about “bias” over wikipedia if you care about the truth and facts.

    just kind of exposes what it’s really about for musk.

    “Wikipedia is built on the premise that it becomes better when more people of different backgrounds—including political persuasions—source, edit, curate and research content. Our equity goal advances that. The ‘Safety & Inclusion’ goal (now titled ‘Safety & Integrity’ in our 2024-2025 plan) is focused on ensuring that people are able to freely access and safely contribute to knowledge on Wikipedia in a changing legal and policy environment globally.”

    Magoo: RAAAAGGGGEEEEE!!! WHITE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS are the only REAL people!! WE’RE the only people that matter!!

        Reliable sources means outlets that don’t outright lie or over embellish. I think you’ll find that most conservative media outlets tend to do exactly those two things. And I would 100% count both Reason and The Hill as conservative media outlets that walk the fine line.

          And liberal sources don’t?

          • The laptop is Russian disinformation.

          • The vaccine will prevent you from getting Covid.

          • The Steele dossier proves that Trump is in bed with the Russians.

          That’s just off the top of my head.

          Mr. Musk believes that Wikipedia has become a mouthpiece for the left. Based on their list of Reliable Sources, how do you counter his argument?

    If you didn’t buy a bunch of hard drives on Black Friday, ya probably should’ve.

    Information is about to get restricted. Authoritarianism is coming down the pipes.

    Buckle up, buttercup. Encrypt that shit and hang on.

    I donate $20 every year, but I also donate again whenever this goof makes headlines going after Wikipedia. Feels good. Fuck you, cunt.

      This too is greed. Wikipedia is too accurate, and he doesn’t want the truth to be remembered.

      I’m not, only because I’ve never once been in awe of any damn thing that piece of shit has ever done stolen credit for, and don’t intend to start now.

    Well, I hate to admit it, but I’ve never donated to Wikipedia.

    But this just made me set up a recurring donation. Streisand effect sorta, I guess.

    Fuck Elon Musk.
