Elon Musk's reminder to Wikipedia..!?

Change the name of "Wikipedia" to "Dickipedia", and I'll give you $1 billion (about Rs. 8,200 crores)! This is a daredevil challenge from Elon Musk! He has once again confirmed this dramatic offer that will amaze the world. In addition to mocking Wikipedia's fundraising, Musk also criticized DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) spending. When twitter user Johns Memes asked, "Is this offer still valid @elonmusk?", Musk replied, "The offer is still valid. Change it quickly!" In an earlier tweet, he had said, "I'll give you a billion dollars if you change the name of Wikipedia to Dickipedia." Musk first made the challenge in october 2023.
A user named Pete posted a photo mocking Wikipedia's request for funds every time it opened a web page. Musk replied, "Every time," along with a laughing emoji. Elon Musk, the CEO of tesla and SpaceX, has expressed his displeasure over the money being spent on the Wikimedia Foundation’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Do you know what his plea to his twitter followers is? “Don’t donate to Wikipedia until they restore their editing power!” he snarled. He recorded his condemnation by pointing to a pie chart showing that 29% of Wikipedia’s $177 million budget for 2023-24 was spent on “equity” and “security and inclusion.” Musk’s bold offer has caused a stir on social media. Whether the name “Dickipedia" is appropriate or not, the question of whether the free encyclopedia Wikipedia is about to miss out on a billion dollars has everyone wondering. It remains to be seen whether Wikipedia will accept or reject this challenge.
