I think I need to direct everyone to this Steve Shives vlog, in which he explores the reasons why Elon Musk is apparently trying to shut down Wikipedia. According to Shives, Musk says Wikipedia is now too woke and needs shutting down. It’s an obvious attack on free speech: Musk doesn’t like what the online encyclopaedia says about him and wants to stamp it out. More to the point, because it has so many contributors and editors, Wikipedia is much more likely to be accurate about any given subject; the more people can contribute to it, the more perspectives it has and the closer it is to ‘the truth’. But because that kind of system does not have one single overarching author, it is manifestly opposed to the way right-wing p’tahks think things should be. If he can’t buy it, control it and have it saying the things he wants it to, musk wants to destroy it.

You know, I didn’t know much about Elon Musk until recently; I hadn’t heard of him a year or so ago. Yet the more I learn about him, the more I think he’s a jumped up little wankstain. How did the p’tahk get so rich? Did he really earn so much power and authority, or is he, like Trump, just where he is through inheritance, arrogance, and through climbing over far better people.
