Musk’s antics on Twitter have been a frequent source of interest. Following his acquisition of Twitter, which he rebranded as “X,” Musk has been actively engaging with users worldwide, regularly intriguing them with his tweets.
In another tweet, Musk shared a screenshot of Wikipedia’s homepage featuring “Wikipedia is not for sale” and “a personal appeal from Jimmy Wales.” Musk questioned the Wikimedia Foundation’s funding needs, highlighting that the entire text of Wikipedia can fit on a phone and wondered about the purpose of the requested funds.
As the conversation unfolded, Musk also inquired if a cow and a poop emoji could be added to his Wikipedia page. His post garnered significant attention, with 9.9 million views and a plethora of likes.
Users responded to the offer with a mix of skepticism and humor. Some expressed concerns about the continuous solicitations for donations by Wikipedia, while others found the situation amusing.
In a previous encounter in May, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales criticized Musk for censoring critics of the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during a contentious election period. Wales contrasted Musk’s actions with Wikipedia’s commitment to free speech and its pushback against censorship in Turkey.
