“Wikipedia Is Broken” — Elon Musk

Wikipedia is pure excrement. Nothing it says can be trusted. The reason is that anyone can use it to smear a person, totally misrepresent an event, falsify history, perpetrate lies. Wikipedia is unvetted information. The false idea behind it is that entries by experts implant the expert’s biases in the information, whereas open entry allows everyone to correct biases and move the entries toward truth. The trouble with this supposition is that it assumes all are well meaning, but they are not. My supporters found that every time they corrected a slur against me or a false accusation, the slur and accusation immediately reappeared. In other words, to keep Wikipedia honest is a full time job. The left-wing living off liberal foundations has endless time to corrupt entries in their war against those who do not share their destructive values and impulses.
The worst problem with Wikipedia is that it is free, whereas a real encyclopedia is costly. The consequence is that real reference works are dying. Soon we won’t know anything.
People who donate to Wikipedia are destroying truth.
