Elon Musk wants to change Wikipedia to "Dickipedia" ☺

Perhaps I'm not the first with that idea, but there's a much better solution.
Mr. Musk could pay every Wikipedia-/Wikimedia-user an abo for a good Encyclopedia.
And with that abo they get blocked for all Wikipedia sites for one year.

I nominate the Brockhaus Encyclopedia.
It was a really great Encyclopedia that was even used by university students for copying.
Some of them were later exposed as plagiarists, when the Internet era started. ☺
Founded in Germany the publisher sold the rights in time before they went bankrupt.
Now the owner is Swedish.
So please, don't suspect national nepotism here, I'm not a Swede.

Let's do the maths:
In August 2023 were 119,420,000 "unique users" of Wikimedia Foundation Sites.

A monthly Brockhaus Abo is EUR 6.00 (basis, about the same in dollars).
https://brockhaus.de/info/privat/

119,420,000 x EUR 6 = EUR 716,520,000 monthly x 12 = EUR 8,598,240,000 yearly

Ouch, that's too much.
We need to negotiate a good volume discount with Sweden. 🤓​

No Wonder Elon Musk Is Now Attacking Wikipedia:
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-10-24/no-wonder-elon-musk-wants-to-see-wikipedia-taken-down

The world's richest person and owner of X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, seems to have been rattled by a report published by Newsguard, a company that rates the trustworthiness of information sources.

Late last week it offered some troubling statistics around misinformation on X pertaining to the Israel-Hamas conflict almost a year after Musk bought the website for $44 billion. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is an advisor to Newsguard.

Of course, in Musk's world, no media source can be considered trustworthy, particularly those that criticize him. Indeed, he claims his own Wikipedia entry is false, despite being heavily moderated and containing verified facts. One of his followers on X suggested someone had been paid to write a negative Musk entry on "Wokipedia." Musk agreed, naturally.

Building Wikipedia could have made Wales one of the richest people on the planet, but he instead has a reported net worth in the low millions of dollars. Long a prominent activist for an open internet, Wales has previously called for "very strong implementation of a right to free speech in Europe — essentially the language of the First Amendment in the US." Indeed, unlike Musk, who readily admits he will take down content in countries that demand it, Wales has consistently shown his mettle and stood up to Chinese efforts at censorship.
