Can we stop bringing up annoying people in every single comment section when they have nothing to do with the topic at hand?


Elon Musk has been waging a war with Wikipedia[1] for a couple of years now, and has the ear of the president. Of those in the administration, he is the single name that really stands out as a guy with a Wikipedia beef.

Seems like he has lots to do with the topic, and it is absolutely likely that he is the one who elicited this. Recall that Musk also basically appointed his own head of the IRS (though Bessent then ousted that person and installed his own stooge).

this is a really high level of hyperbole that isn't reflective of reality


Hyperbole? What? What did I say is remotely hyperbole? You can't simply drop that as if it immunizes you from reality.

Your claim that Elon has "nothing to do" with this is simple ignorance. Either you simply didn't know, in which case say "oops, sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about", or you're being grossly insincere.

Elon brings up Wikipedia constantly. Elon, you know the guy constantly at the president's side and who literally named a head of the IRS, absolutely has something to do with the government suddenly turning its evil eye of ignorance towards the group.
