Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

    In practice organizations don’t have mechanizms to secure such amounts of money. It would be a massive cake to divide. Dirty money is dirty money, don’t show Elon Musk he can de anything.

      Worst case, they can keep chugging along without any changes, except maybe stopping the donation “nag”.

        I don’t think it’s immoral, but who in their right mind takes Elon seriously? Would you really accept 1 billion dollar from a known attention-seeker scammer, if you tattoo your forehead? No thanks.

        If this were coming from Jeff, or even a drug lord, I would probably be ok with it, as long as they are serious and without childish conditions.

        It’s honestly kinda perplexing.

        Everyone keeps talking about taxing the rich but when someone offers to give a nonprofit we all love a billion dollars it’s suddenly the worst thing on the planet.
