Yes; we know he supports Republicans.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day when people realize that the stocks in Musk's companies are highly overrated and the bulk of his wealth quickly evaporates because of it. Heck, Twitter may have finally hit the tipping point(I would have thought it would have happened a year ago, but looks like competition is finally stealing users away en masse). We shall see how long Tesla holds out. It's so overvalued it's insane. SpaceX is a harder one to crack. The Musk containment squad is still doing a decent job there keeping him in check, though I do think they are starting to falter.
And he's found his next target to purchase.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

That's as good an excuse as I can think of to donate to Wikipedia.
Musk has been trying to buy Wikipedia for a while now, because it's an open information source that he doesn't control. They keep telling him to go pound sand.
If I create a platform that exists just to criticize Musk do you think we could trick him into buying it?
Wikipedia actually has enough money saved up to keep the lights on for like a decade or something like that; I have no earthly idea what the point of the huge obnoxious fundraising messages is since as a non-profit they're legally not allowed to do anything with their excess money BUT hoard it.
Like I said, a lot of them seem to be reminders that they can't be bought, but if you want to give them lots of money; they'll happily take donations.
That's not strictly true: non profits are required to use at least some of that capital to invest in itself. So, training, infrastructure, human capital, and the like.
Maybe if we tell musk that if he donates like a billion to wikipedia, he'll own it. He seems dumb enough to fall for that.
The civil war is starting, but now it's just right-wingers.
The tech bros DESPERATELY want intelligent people to actually build their products, but also DESPERATELY do not want to pay american wages to get them. They're keeping the wages as low as they can by relying on the h-1b visas, threatening the people they bring in with sending them back home, and forcing the industries reliance on it by funding the people that want to destroy american public education.
So they want those jobs filled, just not with americans: because americans are too expensive. Ol' musky said it himself: "if you need a school, you've already lost".

So the right-right wants the tech-right to lower their standards and hire Billy Bob over Vijay even though Vijay is more qualified? Isn't that their idea of affirmative action?
Hah, the Right-Right (or more accurately, the Nativist Right) remind me of the Lexit* crowd – a worldview that everything would be fine if workers from Poland, Belgium, Finland (etc) were chucked out and replaced with unqualified native locals.

Laura Loomer having a broken clock moment, which is apparently the only thing that can make a conservative actually lose status on Musk's Xitter.
