Is Wikipedia even buyable by cunt muffins like Elmo?
It is a non-profit organization.
Not really, but Jimmy Wales is a ayn rand libertarian knob, so there may be parts of the org that he would happily let Elon fuck with.
Hes the ceo of fandom/wikia as well, the plague destroying game wikis with deep enshittification, so yeah. Not confident hes going to turn down this offer.
Just a heads up, you can download all of wikipedias Text in a couple Gigabyte iirc. So we could easily "fork" and mirror it.
This does lend credence to the "He's intentionally tanking Twitter" theory.
