Elon Musk’s Critique of Wikipedia’s Fundraising
In 2023, Elon Musk openly criticized Wikipedia and its parent company, the Wikimedia Foundation. He raised questions about their fundraising efforts. On X, he posted, “Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation asks for so much money? It’s not needed to run Wikipedia. You could fit the entire text on your phone! So, what’s the money for?
