Elon Musk offers $1bn to Wikipedia for name change

"@Wikipedia, Do it! You can always change it back after you collect [the money]," said one user.. To this, Musk replied, "One year minimum. I mean, I'm not a fool lol." 

Musk also asked why Wikipedia demands so much money from its readers. "Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money?" He added, "It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone! So, what's the money for? Inquiring minds want to know.."
