Are really suggesting everything in Wikipedia is truthful, complete, and free of all biases?

Maybe not all of it, but a vast majority of it is. And almost certainly the parts that drove Elon to slopify it are true.

Not everything on Wikipedia is true, but the parts Elon Musk hates most are probably true.

So we just make things up on HN now? Care to share any examples?

Not sure if this is an example of something Musk hates, but here’s a paragraph from the “2016 presidential campaign” section of the Donald Trump article on Wikipedia.

> Trump's FEC-required reports listed assets above $1.4 billion and outstanding debts of at least $265 million.[140][141] He did not release his tax returns, contrary to the practice of every major candidate since 1976 and to promises he made in 2014 and 2015 to release them if he ran for office.[142][143]

I could not find any mention of tax returns on the Donald Trump page of Grokipedia.

Well, you yiyrself did not provide any sources for asserting the argument that some of what is on Wikipedia is false

No, when did I say that? That’s impossible for anything of the size of Wikipedia.

I was suggesting that Elon Musk, a man who has donated hundreds of millions to Trump and other Republican causes, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, and who has publicly lied numerous times, is never going to produce a more unbiased and factual encyclopedia than Wikipedia.

Especially when his effort to do so is essentially AI slop from a third rate LLM on top of his own biases.
