Elon Musk's $1 Billion Wikipedia Proposal: "Still Stands"💡 💡
Elon Musk’s controversial $1 billion offer to rename Wikipedia is still on the table. In a recent exchange on social media, Musk responded to a post that declared “Wikipedia is not for sale” by reaffirming that his generous proposal remains open. The billionaire entrepreneur emphasized that his offer would be valid for at least a year, sparking further curiosity about his intentions.
Musk first suggested the idea earlier this year, proposing to rename the world’s largest online encyclopedia to something along the lines of “The Muskipedia” in exchange for a $1 billion donation. While some saw it as a playful gesture, others speculated about Musk's long-term plans, given his history of bold business moves.
Wikipedia, a nonprofit platform, has long relied on donations to sustain its operations, so Musk’s proposal to buy the rights to its name was met with both intrigue and skepticism. Despite the outcry, Musk remains committed to the idea—highlighting the sometimes unpredictable nature of his ventures.
Whether Musk is serious about acquiring Wikipedia or merely teasing the concept remains to be seen, but for now, his offer “still stands.”
