Elon Musk offers $1bn to Wikipedia for name change
The Business Guardian
|October 25, 2023
The entrepreneur behind SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, has offered Wikipedia $1 billion in exchange for changing the site's name. Elon Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "If they change their name to Dickipedia, I will give them a billion dollars." He said, "In the interests of accuracy." He was also quick to reply to X users who suggested Wikipedia take the offer.

"@Wikipedia, Do it! You can always change it back after you collect [the money]," said one user.. To this, Musk replied, "One year minimum. I mean, I'm not a fool lol."
Musk also asked why Wikipedia demands so much money from its readers. "Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money?" He added, "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.."
