Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.
All of the wrong people have money.
Or money turns them into all of the wrong people.
Bullshit. They were born this way mainly because they were born rich.
Why? They’re either born with the money or make the money, but either way the money has turned them into terrible people.
I’d argue that you have to be horrible already to have loads of money. Any reasonably good person would be using their excess wealth for a good cause rather than building ego rockets.
Money = power, and power corrupts. I’m sure there are some people who are horrible before they become wealthy, but I think money (and power) has a way of blunting peoples’ empathy.
I’d be willing to take part in an experiment to confirm this hypothesis. I’ll wait for delivery, each day until 3.
No. Assholes are assholes, and Elon is just an asshole with money.
Compare this man child to a billionaire like Yvon Chouinard, founder of the company Patagonia, and you’ll understand that money doesn’t change good people.
No such thing as a good billionaire. The only variance is how good they are at maintaining their public image.
It’s the effects of capitalism. It’s pathocracy.
Wikipedia should counter by offering Elon $4 to go towards paying off his massive hole from buying Twitter. 😂
He doesn’t need to pay. Twitter is already worth less than the debt, if he continues to break that company apart there’ll he no reason to even consider paying the debt off.
The debt is a tax writeoff. The entire company is a tax writeoff for him and his clique.
This will allow them to gain billions more without spending a cent in taxes.
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Sorry i wasn’t in the loop when we decided to stop talking about the town clown. I guess I’ll stop being an idiot now. Thanks for the advice.
wikipedia foundation’s financials are solid, stable, and healthy.
how’s twitter doing lately, elon?
Indicator 9,876,872,820,111 that that fucker has more money than anyone should ever have.
There’s not one single person in the world who should own a thousand million dollars, never mind hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.
The pure existence of billionaires is unethical and immoral - doesn’t matter whether they’re being stupid and fascist in public, or quietly pulling strings and bending society to their will in the background.
Tangential, but I’ve always wondered why in English 10^9 is one billion. 10^6 is one million. Twice as many zeroes should be one billion. Three times as many, one trillion, etc.
Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.
Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.
Long vs short counting system. Americans use the short system. As a European, long system makes so much more sense! Here’s an interesting video about it: https://youtu.be/C-52AI_ojyQ?si=-TS4BYg-FT0SAeSo
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Miles and pounds came to America from England, but miles were the common system at least as far back as the Romans.
Short form numbers are used throughout the English speaking world and are the international scientific standard.
Why is is that you think that your system of squaring makes more sense than the system of a new name for every third power of ten?
But I want to quietly pull the strings of society so everyone can have food and housing security, get rid of food deserts, and end Elon Musk personally. Like, with my hands. Give me a billion dollars
why do we allow this to happen?
Who is “we”?
What have you done to prevent it?
He’s trying to distract from the probe into Tesla’s range. It’s working.
Wait, what?
There’s a federal probe into Tesla lying about their vehicle range. He’s throwing a fit and closing that it could cause great harm to the brand.
I’m starting to think this guy isn’t very wise about spending his money.
Or just in general.
I am so, so tired of this tedious man child.
We already have Dickopedia elon, it’s called twitter and YOU paid $44 billion for it.

Are they really tho it just seems to me like you just really don’t like anyone with a differing opinion after a quick glance through your comments I could be wrong dare I say but after looking through your comments it looks like you think anyone remotely right wing is a big nazis facist boogeyman sure there are some people out there with those beliefs but there generally quite small in numbers
Stfu, nazi
Define nazi for me tell me what does the word nazi mean and do this without searching it up I also want you to read my comment again as nothing I’ve said makes me a nazi tankie or any other political extremist
That man child has the emotions and humour of a little kid, I swear.
He should keep it and rename himself. It suits him more.
So he’s offering that money to name it after himself?
I’m not even clicking on that link, I never click on stuff with that turd’s name on the headline, just wanted to make the joke.
Don’t think he needs that domain when he’s already got:
Disappointed that it isn’t real
Because israel controls wikipedia. Wake up sheeples. They say it clearly. Learn about hasbara. Google it hasbara influence on wikipedia.
