Or money turns them into all of the wrong people.
Bullshit. They were born this way mainly because they were born rich.

No. Assholes are assholes, and Elon is just an asshole with money.
Compare this man child to a billionaire like Yvon Chouinard, founder of the company Patagonia, and you'll understand that money doesn't change good people.

It’s the effects of capitalism. It’s pathocracy.
Wikipedia should counter by offering Elon $4 to go towards paying off his massive hole from buying Twitter. 😂
He doesn't need to pay. Twitter is already worth less than the debt, if he continues to break that company apart there'll he no reason to even consider paying the debt off.

Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Sorry i wasn't in the loop when we decided to stop talking about the town clown. I guess I'll stop being an idiot now. Thanks for the advice.
We already have Dickopedia elon, it's called twitter and YOU paid $44 billion for it.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
wikipedia foundation's financials are solid, stable, and healthy.
how's twitter doing lately, elon?

Indicator 9,876,872,820,111 that that fucker has more money than anyone should ever have.
There's not one single person in the world who should own a thousand million dollars, never mind hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.
The pure existence of billionaires is unethical and immoral - doesn't matter whether they're being stupid and fascist in public, or quietly pulling strings and bending society to their will in the background.
Tangential, but I've always wondered why in English 10^9 is one billion. 10^6 is one million. Twice as many zeroes should be one billion. Three times as many, one trillion, etc.
Only in English is this weird naming system used and originally only in American English. You can put it in the pile over there with the miles and pounds and other oddities.
Other languages have milliard between million and billion, billiard after billion etc.

So he’s offering that money to name it after himself?
I’m not even clicking on that link, I never click on stuff with that turd’s name on the headline, just wanted to make the joke.
Don't think he needs that domain when he's already got:
FigurativelyHumongousButLiterallyTinyDick.com

More evidence to support taxing the fuck out of billionaires. No one needs that much money.
I am so, so tired of this tedious man child.
I'm starting to think this guy isn't very wise about spending his money.
Or just in general.

He's trying to distract from the probe into Tesla's range. It's working.
Wait, what?
There's a federal probe into Tesla lying about their vehicle range. He's throwing a fit and closing that it could cause great harm to the brand.
That man child has the emotions and humour of a little kid, I swear.
Never donated to Wikipedia before... this shit changed that in a hurry.

Maybe Elon should just donate a billion because he supposedly cares about free information so much?
Oh, but you see, information is really only free if it's something Musk agrees with.
I offer Elon $1 to change his name to Doge McCumStain. I hope he will accept my generous offer.
I'll offer him $10. As a measurement of a percentage of my personal wealth I am offering double what Elon is offering.

Why do we let this man-child have billions of dollars?
Because our capitalist system requires psychopaths to function and rewards psychopathy.

To everyone thinking Wikipedia should go with the deal and then change the name back.
It's like taking money for doing d*ck tatoo on forehead and then doing laser removal, humiliation. No foundation or company should show they are craving for money by doing anything someone would pay for.

He paid 44bln and hasn't even changed twitter.com yet. Don't expect him to pay up.
Sounds like a good idea for a wikipedia page. Put Elon's picture on it.
What a fool. Why do we let the worst people take the most from us?
For shits and giggles, the Foundation should absolutely get lawyers to put together a binding agreement to this effect and send it to Elon to sign.
… and then watch him run away
