Jimmy Wales, founder of “Wikipedia”, warned businessman Elon Musk, who bought the Twitter social network for $44 billion, that the online encyclopedia is not for sale. This is how the author of the online encyclopedia responded to the billionaire’s criticism of Wikipedia, as Business Insider reports.

“The encyclopedia is not for saleVales briefly responded to a journalist’s question about the value of Wikipedia and whether Elon Musk could buy it.

A few days ago, the new head of Twitter criticized “Wikipedia” for biasing articles about the scandal with the son of US President Hunter Biden.

Musk asked Wales to personally comment on Twitter on why the editors of “Wikipedia” are planning to remove the article about Biden’s laptop, which contained conciliatory information. The author of the encyclopedia then did not respond to the businessman’s request.

In November, Vales said that Musk’s recording of problems on the Twitter social network was “absolutely flawed”. “Twitter has a real problem with trolling and insults, not a lack of freedom of expression”– noted the founder of “Wikipedia”.
