    Can we stop giving this asshole more airtime? No one cares what this rich prick thinks anymore. He has proven himself to be an idiot countless times.

        He can waste his money however, I just am tired of hearing about his opinions constantly.

        Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they stink.

    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.
