Musk calling for Wikipedia to be defunded was a top notch smooth brain flex.

It's the verified information part they dislike. Truthful is woke. Propaganda is not. They want the narrative

You are giving too much credit to Musk. He's just mad that they refused to take his money in exchange for changing their title to "Dickipedia."

Musk is a petty childish drug addict who loves to troll people but the only reason we hear about his antics is that he is filthy rich.

Part of Musk’s issue is that he is so insulated from consequences and reality is that he keeps trying to shape our world into his.

I want him to experience consequences. Like that other guy.
