Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

    Honestly, they’d be stupid not to take it.

    Imagine how much you could do with a billion. It’d perpetually sustain the organization, it’d allow them to hire translators and writers, resulting in better content for all of us.

    Hell, I’d take it, and 99.9% of people on this planet would too.

      Did he offer them a legal contract? Because otherwise he’s just flapping his fat lips, seeking attention like a toddler.

      In practice organizations don’t have mechanizms to secure such amounts of money. It would be a massive cake to divide. Dirty money is dirty money, don’t show Elon Musk he can de anything.

        Worst case, they can keep chugging along without any changes, except maybe stopping the donation “nag”.
