Elon Musks
San Francisco, August 17
The Wikipedia page of billionaire tech tycoon Elon Musks was blocked for an amendment after Tesla’s CEO encouraged others to “destroy” the site.
“History is written through victorsArray … on Wikipedia,” Musk tweeted on Sunday.
In a follow-up tweet, he told his fans to “launch” it to the site, allowing anyone to edit their pages.
“Please, on Wikipedia, I beg you, ” said Musk.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX responded to many of his subscribers who took it and shared their changes.
“All primary wars, ailments and monetary errors of the last century can be attributed to Mr. Musk or one of his companies,” said one user who edited the page before sending the update to Musk, who reported his approval.
Musk also approved a suggestion to replace his page to describe it as a “business magnet” rather than a “business magnate.” Due to the massive traffic on Musk’s Wikipedia page, Musk’s Wikipedia page was temporarily blocked through the company, restricting settings only to editors approved through the site.
This is the first time Musk has talked about Wikipedia on Twitter. Previously, he had expressed his sadness with the site and its accuracy, that is, with regard to it.
“I just saw my wiki for the first time in years. That’s crazy! By the way, you can remove “inverter”. I hardly make any investments,” Musk tweeted last year.
