    Am I the only person who immediately thought that Musk will end up suing Wikipedia for infringing on “his” content?

    Wikipedia works because of the vigilant team of volunteers maintaining its quality. Let’s see how Musk is going to do that 😏

      When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality

        Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.

      Vigilant team of right wing AI bots correcting any “libtard bias” as soon as it occurs.

      This really solidifies the US’ splitting into two. Now there are two versions of “truth”. It breaks the heart.

      That is literally the opposite of Musk’s goal.

      It will be full of frog memes and crypto “fundraiser” popups. The references section at the bottom will be links to buy life insurance and commemorative freeze-dried Trump feces with bits of undigested/unpaid bills sprinkled throughout.

    Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

        Holy shit. They claim Einstein’s Theory of Relativity has something to do with moral relativism? That’s so fucking stupid.

          But you see, they share the same word, so must be similar. Big smart. Much literate.

      The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

      Wikipedia makes it easier to be informed. The wealthy dont want you informed. Simple as. He wants to be able to control the narrative.

    So basically all of Wikipedia’s errors plus new errors from grok? Amazing

    But can we also increasingly let chat bots edit Wikipedia itself, please? Oh, we are? Great
