Hahahaha, oh wow.... Wikipedia is so biased on some topics that heads are spinning while reading some pages.
Do you have an example? Just curious.
Personally I'd rather have crowd sourced bias than the bias of one really rich dude anyways.
A lot of ex-communist east european countries history is biased as fuck. But I agree with you, I don't think Musk buying Wikipedia would benefit it in any way. Although how much of "crowd" bias is there now is arguable as a lot of them are probably a part of some NGO or something...
Not just NGOs, many groups are also involved in information warefare. This is a result of Wikipedia's poor policies that favor profits more than its purpose.
