As always, there is money involved, or at least that is how Elon Musk made fun of Wikipedia on his

First he wrote: “Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money? It’s certainly not necessary to operate Wikipedia. You can literally put a copy of the entire text on your phone! So what is the money for? Inquiring minds want to know…
And then, after a message from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who said that this page is not for sale, Musk limited himself to putting the emoticon that sleeps peacefully.
But that was not all, Musk continued his messages and this time he put a specific value “for the sake of accuracy” and wrote: “I will give you a billion dollars if you change your name to Dickipedia”, a play on words in which dick translates penis in Spanish.
Why does he do this?
For international analysts cited in Yahoo! News, Elon Musk has said that Wikipedia has a leftist bias and has compared it to outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post and even CNN.
For The Guardian columnist Zoe Williams, the owner of “To see something socially created that works is an insult to him.”
Other analyzes go into the dispute between Wales and Musk. The head of Wikipedia has been an open critic of Elon Musk and a high point in the discussion between the two occurred in May of this year when they had an altercation in X.
Wales accused Musk of bowing to the Turkish government and restricting content on his social network and was quoted by the American newspaper The Hill: “What Wikipedia did: we firmly defended our principles and fought all the way to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won,” he wrote in response to a post by Musk, adding: “This is what it means to treat free speech as a principle and not a slogan.”
How will this fight end? For now the only thing clear is that Wikipedia is not for sale.
