Wikipedia has been begging for money again

So Elon Musk offered them $1bn.

Just one catch. They have to change the name of the site to Dickipedia for one year.

Would you?

Apparently it costs nearly $150m a year to keep it going.

If it was me I might have taken the money and made a meme of it. Pretty sure Elon was joking/serious on this one.
