Dear Elon: The Wikimedia is Essential For Open Knowledge

Scary but real - Elon Musk does not understand the Wikipedia

Came across this today from Molly White on her newsletter named [citation needed]: read here. Elon Musk and the right’s war on Wikipedia

The world's richest man has joined a growing chorus of right-wing voices attacking Wikipedia as part of an intensifying campaign against free and open access information.

Not surprising, Musk does not understand the Wikipedia, or maybe he does and is afraid of it.

If you want to better understand what Wikipedia brings to the world, listen to my conversation with Florence Devouard (former Chairperson following Jimmy Wales).

Florence makes the Wikipedia vision clear. She also understands and describes the challenges it is facing today.

What are your thoughts after hearing her?
