The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, on Sunday asked his almost 38 million followers on Twitter to knock him down on Wikipedia.
“History is written by the winners, except on Wikipedia, haha“wrote the businessman.”Please destroy me on Wikipedia, I beg of you“Musk asked his followers in a tweet.
Netizens were quick to accept the offer and used all their creativity to modify the page that refers to Musk in the online encyclopedia as they pleased. They also did not hesitate to show the result to the applicant himself.
“Elon Reeve Musk is a piece of shit, an engineer, industrial designer, technology entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Elon sucks. He made short sellers lose a lot of money, he doesn’t let anyone try to rewrite the autopilot and ‘Battery Day’ has been delayed until September 22nd. Everyone wants a Cybertruck, but they don’t have a factory yet because Elon is a terrible CEO. All the great wars, illnesses and financial disasters of the last century can be directly attributed to Mr. Musk or to one of his companies. Everyone also agrees that these memes are not funny“shows a screenshot of the Wikipedia entry dedicated to the businessman.
Another user turned the billionaire into a “rapper” and a “playboy.”
Netizens were having a blast, but Wikipedia quickly blocked Musk’s page, deleting all edits and limiting the ability to make changes to only editors approved by the site. Unauthorized persons who nevertheless still tried to edit the page, came across the notice that it was “protected to prevent vandalism.”
