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.
Honestly, they'd be stupid not to take it.
Imagine how much you could do with a billion. It'd perpetually sustain the organization, it'd allow them to hire translators and writers, resulting in better content for all of us.
Hell, I'd take it, and 99.9% of people on this planet would too.
Did he offer them a legal contract? Because otherwise he's just flapping his fat lips, seeking attention like a toddler.
If the deal were real of course
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 think you call his bluff, play chicken with him. See what he comes up with as his terms to the agreement, read the contract, have lawyers check it for loopholes and it they find one, sign the deal and exploit it.
Then donate the money to another foundation.
At some point I'd be willing to bet he would back down and not follow through, but anybody that is in a position to call him on his bullshit should do it
No reason. It would require elon to be part of whatever position and he will destroy it like twitter.
Also his endgoal is most probably to control what's written about him
