Elon Musk Urges Defunding of Wikipedia Over Gesture Controversy

Musk criticizes Wikipedia's description of his inauguration gesture as biased, reigniting tensions with the platform's founder, Jimmy Wales.

Elon Musk called for his followers to stop donating to Wikipedia, labeling it 'Wokepedia' and accusing it of ideological bias.
The controversy stems from Wikipedia's description of Musk's gesture at Donald Trump's inauguration, which some compared to a Nazi salute.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales defended the site's neutrality and dismissed Musk's claims of propaganda, stating the content is factually accurate.
Musk's criticism aligns with broader attacks from MAGA supporters and tech figures who claim Wikipedia's editorial practices are biased.
Analysts suggest Musk's push against Wikipedia may also reflect his desire to position his platform, X, as a dominant source of information.
