Why is MAGA setting its sights on Wikipedia?

  • A coalition of MAGA supporters and Silicon Valley venture capitalists is targeting Wikipedia, with Elon Musk accusing the site of bias and urging followers to "defund" it until balance is restored.
  • Musk criticized Wikipedia for its mention of his gesture at President Trump's inauguration and labeled the site "Wokepedia" after a graph showed spending on equity and inclusion.
  • Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales defended the site, stating that it is not for sale and hoping that Musk's calls for defunding lead to donations from truth-seekers.
  • Critics argue that Musk and his allies want to control their online image and narrative, which they cannot do on Wikipedia, as explained by software engineer Molly White.
