Allegations Elon is using his freedom of speech (and control of this platform) to lie, again. .
(📣) COMMUNITY NOTE: Per usual for Musk and his followers, this is a lie. After you hunt through all the posts to find the original source, it's an Ars Technica report in which Butch Wilmore actually says, "Politics isn't playing into this at all." What he does confirm is that.

Elon Musk is running a campaign to defund Wikipedia. You know what to do. .
I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage.

Gluteus Maximus Elon Musk rebrands himself on Twitter as Kekius Maximus personified in the image of Pepe the Frog, as often adopted by the Alt-Right and wannabe Fascist adjacent. The word "Kek" is also associated with the Alt-Right. Got it yet?. Happy New Year everyone.
