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.

[–] TheGiantKorean 65 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or money turns them into all of the wrong people.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Bullshit. They were born this way mainly because they were born rich.

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.

Wikipedia should counter by offering Elon $4 to go towards paying off his massive hole from buying Twitter. 😂

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (9 children)

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.

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.

[–] nadram 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 102 points 1 year ago

We already have Dickopedia elon, it's called twitter and YOU paid $44 billion for it.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Indicator 9,876,872,820,111 that that fucker has more money than anyone should ever have.

[–] paintbucketholder 52 points 1 year ago (9 children)

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.

[–] OrnatePotato 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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.

[–] logi 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] GONADS125 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't think he needs that domain when he's already got:

  5. Profit.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

More evidence to support taxing the fuck out of billionaires. No one needs that much money.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago

I am so, so tired of this tedious man child.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm starting to think this guy isn't very wise about spending his money.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

Or just in general.

[–] FireWire400 10 points 1 year ago

He doesn't need to be, that's the worrying thing...

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's trying to distract from the probe into Tesla's range. It's working.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

That man child has the emotions and humour of a little kid, I swear.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never donated to Wikipedia before... this shit changed that in a hurry.

Maybe Elon should just donate a billion because he supposedly cares about free information so much?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Oh, but you see, information is really only free if it's something Musk agrees with.

[–] MrFlamey 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I offer Elon $1 to change his name to Doge McCumStain. I hope he will accept my generous offer.

[–] ImpossibilityBox 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll offer him $10. As a measurement of a percentage of my personal wealth I am offering double what Elon is offering.

Why do we let this man-child have billions of dollars?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (14 children)

To everyone thinking Wikipedia should go with the deal and then change the name back.

It's like taking money for doing d*ck tatoo on forehead and then doing laser removal, humiliation. No foundation or company should show they are craving for money by doing anything someone would pay for.

Sounds like a good idea for a wikipedia page. Put Elon's picture on it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (8 children)

For shits and giggles, the Foundation should absolutely get lawyers to put together a binding agreement to this effect and send it to Elon to sign.

… and then watch him run away
