You mean Elon is at war with the truth?
Yeah, I knew that already.
Imagine the US government restricting the First Amendment and every branch of government just lets it happen.
Trump will sneak in a quick rewrite to the first article, called ‘First draft’:
“Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, except when it involves disloyal media, un-American ideologies, or challenges to the rightful authority of the government. The press shall be free, provided it does not engage in fake news or report unfairly on the administration. The right of the people to peaceably assemble shall be protected, unless deemed disruptive, unpatriotic, or contrary to national interests. Only grievances deemed legitimate may be petitioned to the Government for redress.”
Allthough it probably would look like this if actually wrote it:
“Look, free speech is great. The best. Nobody loves free speech more than me. But let’s be smart about it. We don’t want fake news running wild, do we? The press can be free, absolutely, but if they’re dishonest—if they lie, cheat, and work against America—then guess what? That’s not free speech, that’s fraud. And we’re not going to allow fraud. People can say what they want, sure, but if it’s radical, if it’s dangerous, if it hurts America—sorry, not happening. Protests? Fine, as long as they’re peaceful, respectful, and not a total disaster. And if you’ve got a problem with the government, you can petition—but let’s keep it reasonable. No whining, no hoaxes. Just common sense. It’s gonna be tremendous.”
Obviously all terrible and dangerous for all citizens of the US and abroad. This is truly an test to see whether the US wants an king and whether it can withstand the assault on its institutions by someone hellbend on destroying whatever he can. He’s like an unskilled stratego player that would rather throw an tantrum and destroy the game, rather than learn to play the game.
Ya. I guess we need to donate more to Wikipedia.
I can’t wait until someone shuts this prick up.
My co-worker mentioned Edolph and his pet orange turd are openly naming the Mexican cartels now. I really hope they retaliate and aren’t in bed with these scumbags because if they’re not, then the Sinaloa’s are extremely good at the FAFO game.
Yeah, because having a Mexican cartel assassinate the president of the United States’ family members would definitely help to quiet the xenophobic “sending their rapists and murderers” claims /s
I’m not sure the cartels are that concerned with PR.
In October 2024, he offered to donate $1 billion to Wikipedia to change the name to “Dickipedia.”
I think we have found the root of the issue. Nothing bothers Musk as much as being told he can’t buy something and slap a childish name on it.
Instead of whining like a 5 year old, why doesn’t he use his obscene wealth to pay an army of Chinese internet trolls to rewrite Wikipedia to his liking? I bet Wikipedia and the regular contributors wouldn’t even have the resources to withstand the assault and correct the untruths faster than they’d be created.
Not to give them ideas but couldn’t he just fund his own fake Wikipedia clone? X-cylipedia or some shit? Claim it’s the truth and it’s very existence becomes a PR trap for the media who will cover it like hotcakes for free

Isn’t that basically what conservapedia is?
(Link is not to the actual site, but rather to an article about them - not giving that shithole traffic)
If people with this mindset could be happy with just having their own thing, not polluted with the ideas of others, there would be no conflict. Unfortunately the mindset requires that there can’t be other people in the world doing their own thing.
SSSSHHHHHHHH!!! 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 Don’t give anyone any ideas.
! shhhhhhhhh
Chinese internet trolls
You know you can hate somebody without associating them with Chinese people, right?
You know you can say “Chinese troll” without hating anybody, yes?
As in “the person is a troll” and “the person is Chinese”. No hate anywhere: it’s just two facts that happen to go together quite well because China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.
You need to stop thinking everything in terms of how racist it sounds.
China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.
Reflexively associating people & things you dislike with an ethnicity is a form of hate, and you are doing it. After all, America has plenty of – hell, I’d argue more – easily bought trolls available, and yet I don’t seem to see a whole lot of people bringing up their nationality so much, assuming they mention them at all.
And I’m not going to ignore racist statements just because pointing it out causes tension.
Wikipedia and Archive.org need international mirrors. Just saying.
Just donated to wikipedia. I’ve used it a ton over the years.
Facts, amiright!?
