X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk recently put forth a surprising proposition for Wikipedia.
In what he termed "in the interests of accuracy", Musk expressed his willingness to donate $1 billion to the online encyclopedia if it consented to rename itself 'Dickipedia'.
The billionaire's stipulation came with a further condition that the name change must remain in effect for a minimum of a year.
A number of X users requested Wikipedia to take the money from the world’s richest individual. When political journalist Ed Krassenstein asked Wikipedia to accept the offer,
He argued that they could always change it back after getting hold of the money. “One year minimum. I mean, I’m a not fool lol," replied Musk.
“Buy it and put AI in charge of updating it autonomously," one of the users wrote. “Buy it and turn it into Xpedia instead," suggested another.
