community notes ignores the part about "what's the money for".Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money?
It certainly isn’t needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!
So, what’s the money for? Inquiring minds want to know …
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Wikimedia Foundation is a charitable non-profit, providing free access to Wikipedia.
While a text and English-only copy of Wikipedia is about 51GB, including all media and supported languages totals to 428TB. In 2022 Wikimedia had $154M in revenue with $145M in expenses.

If they were still maintaining I'd fully expect to see Musk included in the list of dicksericbarbour wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 8:10 pmlol, nice troll job
Since Musk is notorious for not paying bills, even if they were stupid enough to change the name, he would likely never pay up. Besides, remember there already WAS a "Dickipedia". It ran from 2007 to the end of 2011. Last capture I could find:

In 2007 Lord Elon was a minor Valley figure and Tesla Motors was a tiny startup being laughed at by the auto industry. Tesla probably would have failed--until Toyota (stupidly?) sold them the NUMMI factory at a dirt-cheap price. Because the 2008 meltdown was on the verge of killing off the auto industry (that was still laughing at Tesla). Large corporations are arrogant brainless monsters. Then Musk made a deal with Mercedes and Toyota to sell them drivetrains for "compliance cars", because the state of California and the EU were harassing them to make ZEVs.
Which is still going on today. Remember: short-sellers wanted Tesla to die, and they pulled every trick possible to make it die. Someone's still updating tesladeaths.com, for example. He has insane fans and he has insane detractors....just like Wikipedia.Bloggers mounted a Tesla deathwatch.
Good points. Musk should change his offer to "Dikipeedia".ericbarbour wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 8:10 pmlol, nice troll job

Plus there's a "Dickipedia" on fandom.com, being run by The Dick Show podcast.

I think he really only exposed his dickishness to the public recently. The first instance I recall of him publicly being a dick was maybe around 2014 where he was being called out for not funding a Nikola Tesla museum. But from the stories that have come out recently he's always been a dick but just not as loud or as public.ericbarbour wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 7:38 pmIn 2007 Lord Elon was a minor Valley figure and Tesla Motors was a tiny startup being laughed at by the auto industry.
