    Musk is just Nazi-washing what he stole from Wikipedia, he doesn’t have the base of volunteers and employees to maintain his latest toy. A year from now, it will be gone and forgotten, and we’ll all be shouting at each other to go vote.

    Anybody going there to test “how bad it is” is giving them traffic, which they can use to brag about its success. Personally, I’d rather completely ignore it and disregard whoever mention it one day as a source, which will never happen hopefuly.

    It’s not about making something useful. He and a few others are cloning everything any of their cult might use to further fence them in from external information and entertainment.

    They’re having a harder time in entertainment, because artists tend to be more liberal, but they’re gaining ground there, too. After a certain point, they’ll just radically censor everything else.

      This is what scares me. The fact that they are doing it at all. It’s providing more spaces for people to shut themselves in completely with the information they want. These fucking desperate bigots will never be satisfied until the entire world reflects their bigoted ass beliefs, but since that will never happen they will fight a civil war for Elon out of sheer ignorant self obsession, instead

    Ultimately, this could highlight the incredibly high value of wikipedia as a common ressource, and might lead to better things there.

    Maybe.

      All cars can catch fire, some more often, others more intensely. Doesn’t matter if it’s a swastikar or not.

      Instead of pitting EVs against ICE, let’s all push to reduce car dependence and instead encourage the development of public transit!

    They are going to clone Wikipedia, then use some flimsy excuse to get it shut down under something like “anti conservative bias”. He’ll position Nazipedia to replace it.
