I don't think conservatives donated anyways.
Some people hate that reality doesn’t confirm their prejudices and biases
Elon isn't exactly what I would call a mentor anyway
Canceled discord nitro, setup monthly donations to Wikipedia
Put Elon Musk at the bottom of the ocean, the little bug eyed pervert freak
Fuck this guy honestly.
I'd never given to Wikimedia before.
Now I have.
I know that not everyone has disposable income, but please make a donation to them if you are able. They're the best thing remaining on the internet.
Anyone with a cable subscription has enough to toss a couple of bucks a month to wikipedia.

Download Wikipedia. It doesn't take much storage space without pictures. Then when it gets taken down, sued, hacked, edited with misinformation etc you still have it. I was thinking this months ago and this now confirms their plans.

also,
rw:RationalWiki:Content dumps because of things like this: rw:Elon Musk
Fuck Elon, Wikipedia is one of the only good things left on the internet
Immediately donated after I saw this lol
There is nothing a guy in a coma hates worse than being woke.
Fuck Elon, nevertheless, it is important to see in what Wikimedia foundation are spending its donations on, just like Mozilla.
He's gurning like he's on some very good pills
I’ve only donated once before, and that was like $25 a year ago. Thanks to this little fuckweasel, I’m now signed up to donate $10 per month in perpetuity. Eat shit, Musk.
Same. Streisand effect I guess.
What idiot would want to restrict Wiki (rhetorical question)? The amount I have learned from Wiki of the years is immeasurable. Start on a subject only to find yourself going down a Wiki hole on some fascinating but totally unrelated subject, and before you know it an hour has passed.
Really like the obscure political episodes from random countries around the world. Have learned more geography than I ever learned in school.
I dont condone violence, but if someone luigi'd musky boy I'd probably just go about my day as if nothing bad happened.
I absolutely condone violence, and while I shall only attempt to harm Elon Musk by not purchasing any of his companies' products, if I were to read on one of Lemmy's news communities that someone had, let's say, shotgunned all of Elon's entrails out, I'm pretty sure I would respond by laughing myself into a state of acute respiratory distress.
Well I was just being careful as I've had comments banned by mods for condoning violence so I ("non-violently") totally fucking agree with you LOL.
If someone [removed] Elon Musk, I'd be so happy

I'd give the person who killed him a fucking alibi.
I dont condone violence
Depends on the recipient. Oligarchs like Musk enact a widespread and constant barrage of violence against the entire planet. If some -absolute hero- were to kill him, the violence needed to kill him would barely qualify as rounding error compared to the violence that would be put to an end by doing so.
That's why so many people cheered when the UHC CEO was dropped - it's not a celebration of death or violence, or bloodlust, or even revenge; but relief at the sudden reduction of evil we were all gifted.
So... not condoning violence against people like Musk is supporting a much broader and more sinister type of violence.
Eh, institutions mostly don't go away because their leader shuffles of their mortal coil. And whoever ends up replacing them will be in the same situation as their predecessor. As in, UHC benefits from denying coverage, and that hasn't changed just because the CEO died.
That being said, Musk acts too publicly, which, while it ultimately makes him less efficient, also makes him more dangerous. At least until he pisses Trump of to a degree where Trump wants to get rid of him, which may have already happened.
We're in the funniest timeline, it's just that the joke is at our expense.
that hasn’t changed just because the CEO died.
Blue Cross Blue Shield immediately rolled back their decision to not cover anesthesia in surgery after the assassination, and I believe there were a handful of similar examples (or were there? ...I can't recall the details).
So, one supervillain killed and the people as a whole tangibly benefit as a direct result. Could more be happening? Oh fuck yeah - oligarchs are going to do the bare minimum not to get their heads on a pike, and they're now feeling out where that line is. So if it stays at just one oligarch, things will probably stay about where they're at. If people are still pissed and another one gets taken out, we'll probably see their grip loosened even more.
There will always be a new face eager to collect a shit ton of money to fill in for the dead dipshit before them, but the more they're reminded that the little will only bend over and take so much before the constant squeeze becomes a mortal liability to the oligarch, the less we'll be squeezed.
The biggest effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how fucked up the health insurance industry is. That is why Blue Cross Shield rolled back their decision. As if a security detail for the CEO costs more than they'd save/make with their anesthesia time limit scheme.
And may we continue to stomp their cost analysis into the dirt until they implement a reasonable business model. 🍻

Why doesn't Elon create his own Wikipedia if he complains so much?
I think it would be called Xwiki
Elon’s version of wiki is called the news :(
Conservapedia exists, and it's every bit the wild ride you imagine.
Elon Musk (born June 28, 1971, in South Africa) is an American businessman and inventor ranked as the wealthiest man in the world, who supports freedom of speech and opposed tyrannical lockdowns during COVID-19. Musk campaigns tirelessly for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election,[2] such as holding a town hall in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on Oct. 26, 2024, which was viewed by 5.9 million times on X.[3] One commentator dubbed Elon Musk the "African American of the Year" for 2022.[4]
Elon Musk (born June 28, 1971) is an American billionaire most people associate with the Tesla Motors company. Also a co-founder of PayPal, a CEO for SpaceX, and chairman of SolarCity. He supposedly is "socially liberal and fiscally conservative"[1] but endorsed hyperinflationist Andrew Yang in 2020 presidential election. He believes in a man-made global warming. Musk was born in South Africa, raised in Canada and resides in Los Angeles. His wealth is estimated at $14 billion.
Musk companies are thriving due to government subsidies. Tesla Motors and SolarCity have taken a huge financial hit in 2016. Both these companies are based on the green energy movement and are being punished by the markets due to extremely low oil prices. Musk lost a personal fortune upwards of $4 billion.
Holy crap, just look at this thing: https://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia#Differences_with_Wikipedia
Conservapedia strives to keep its articles concise, informative, family-friendly, and true to the facts...
Then, in the same paragraph:
Conservapedia is clear that it seeks to give due credit to conservatism and Christianity.
Isn't that a blatant self-contradiction? Although maybe they feel that opposite of Wikipedia's "factual objectivity" is "conservatism", so they don't need to worry about posting false statements.
I just googled my cpuntry, swotzerland, and:
Switzerland is one of the wealthiest country in the world, located in Central Europe between Germany, Italy, France, and Austria. Its capital is Bern, and its largest city is Zurich. Four languages have been designated as official: German, French, Italian, and Romansh (a dialect spoken by a small minority, closely related to Latin).
- they forgot Lichtenstein
- we don't have a capital, it's specifically not a caputal but the federal city
- rpmansch is not a Dialect but its own Language which in turn has multiple dialects
Hmm, not really that realiable

As they say, reality has a left-leaning bias.
Elon is a moron’s idea of an intellectual.
Explains why he's buddies with Trump. Lol.

Fuck every single nazi cunt in this government

Sort of, yeah. The next four years will be what the Chinese proverb/insult refers to as interesting times.
Propagandist hates source of information that makes his job of lying to people harder.
