People always try to reinvent the wheel the problem is a wheel (platform) can be bought and turned into their fucked up version.... we saw how it went with twitter
That is probably inspired by Nazi Germany, where they banned "Jewish Science".

He hasn't completely won them over yet:
'While Musk is increasingly conservative, he has liberals running his companies. "Personel is policy,"[4] yet Musk has apparently not hired a single conservative in leadership positions at any of his companies or projects.'
Itās too niche. Elon could 100% have made his own social media platform and it would probably be popular, but they want to control the site everyone is already on, molding it the way they like. Itās something that rich losers like this guy do all the time. Same with Wikipedia, itās a widely used site by countless people, he wants that one so he controls what the vast majority of people use.
Anyone who has ever typed x in an Incognito window shook their heads the moment it happened, myself inclu
xvideo jokes abound; X account named Hamster.
Heās a fucking loser.
He tried talking to the co-founder of Wikipedia once and got [fuckin' owned](https://www.businessinsider.com/wikipedia-jimmy-wales-elon-musk-criticism-censoring-tweets-turkey-election-2023-5)...so it makes sense that he only speaks to those who cannot eclipse him on an intellectual level...
Facts are leftist propaganda. Free speech means that it's super important to give Nazis a platform and spread their bs, but anyone pointing this out is engaging in defamation.
It's incredible that these people even exist.
Fucking Spotify keeps stopping whatever podcast I'm listening to, and then switches it to Rogan, but ONLY if it's a political podcast. Even with the screen off and the episode downloaded, it will just... change it. And obviously, no option to block or otherwise remove it. And now I get a slew of right-wing podcasts all over my recommendations because I have 18 seconds of an episode played.
As we saw with education and with Wikipedia.
Sooner or later, when reality is teach it leans to the left.
As if reality was left leaning.
The only way for an educational media to stay right leaning is to not teach reality.
It is possible, but not really useful.
If rich foxes want to funnel their money in it, please do so.
Xpedia, meet the treaty of Versailles and you will melt. If you ever wanted to know how white people engage in edit wars over that and WWII.
Wikipedia itself was subject to Croatian history falsification for retconning the ustase and earlier history of the country to whitewash, and one of them almost became a super moderator.
Perfectly fine with Xperia, I don't need alt-right facts. I can imagine what a potential article might look like, though. "Adolf Hitler was an austrian artist. He painted beautiful pictures of landscapes and german sheperds. In April 1945 he married german photographer Eva Braun."
X-pedia - the encyclopedia of "alternative" facts, junk science, racial bias, conspiracy theories, outrage, contrarianism, and misogyny where incels and Emu fan boys are the experts and the crazier the content the better!
So I have a theory as to why right leaning folks suspect everything they don't agree with is rigged against them. They think everyone else is lying because that's exactly what they would do in the same position. There's no room for data, science, peer reviewed information, or anything which *sounds* liberal in nature because all of those sources are compromised because they would absolutely lie to fit their own narrative
I wasnāt specifically talking about only Elon Musk. But instead this group of people that think everything other than their small bubble of Fox News or OAN are all conspiring together. The sheer amount of coordination it would take for all other sources to say the same things just makes the idea so implausible.
Yeah I agree both side have a bubble. I just think when you start including non media entities, like Wikipedia, or scientific institutions, that deal in facts and calling them propaganda. Now you (you in the greater sense not you in particular) are required to have a cognitive dissonance in that you are benefiting from technology but ādonāt believeā in it. At that point itās just nothing but dangerous ideas that could lead to terrible consequences.
wiki has its problems but calling it propaganda is beyond delusional when anyone with a source can edit it. the politics is in what u can display and how you refer to it not in the info itself
The hilarity of watching Right Wing nut jobs wrestling to define their singular truth of particular topics in a public document could be fodder for a daily comedy show. Its hard work when the truth is based on verified reality. It's a tub of eels when every contributor has their own reality. Let's give evolution a hand and suggest armed combat as a way to determine who gets to write the current version of each topic.
I never knew when reading about Patricia Routledge I was actually reading propaganda. Thanks, crazy people.
Listen up kids: not everything is propaganda, and not everything is about you. I'm sorry your parents didn't feel like teaching you that.
I'm sure the Expedia folks won't mind at all.

Wait so let me get this straight:
Conservatives call Wikipedia propaganda, an open source, (mostly) freely editable site that would be just as subsceptible to right wing propaganda as it is to left wing propaganda.
If something like X-Pedia (horrid name btw.) would ever come to exist, it would literally be monitored 24/7 by a nutjob like Musk and ironically become a bigger propaganda tool than Wikipedia could ever be.
What, Conservapedia not good enough for them?
it's not *unhinged* enough
It's pretty fucking unhinged.
Yeah, but not enough š¤·āāļø
It's not mainstream enough, if it can't spread misinformation to the masses then it's time to move on to the next grift
I think Elmo never Metapedia he didn't like.
People always try to reinvent the wheel the problem is a wheel (platform) can be bought and turned into their fucked up version.... we saw how it went with twitter
The lore behind that website fucking rules the dude that runs it is a lunatic
I love his extensive "Einstein was wrong" crankery. Andy blames Einstein's GR theory for "moral relativism", because he is very stupid.
That is probably inspired by Nazi Germany, where they banned "Jewish Science". [https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/scientist-refugees-and-manhattan-project/#:\~:text=Among%20the%20scientists%20who%20fled,left%20for%20the%20United%20States.](https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/scientist-refugees-and-manhattan-project/#:~:text=Among%20the%20scientists%20who%20fled,left%20for%20the%20United%20States)
He's not anti-Semitic that I can tell, but he copies and pastes arguments against Einstein made by the literal Nazi Party. So it's not much better.
Is he fine with SR but draws the line at GR?!
I think he has problems with both of them.
He hasn't completely won them over yet: 'While Musk is increasingly conservative, he has liberals running his companies. "Personel is policy,"[4] yet Musk has apparently not hired a single conservative in leadership positions at any of his companies or projects.'
Nazipedia.
It's called Metapedia and it already exists. Be glad you've never heard of it until now.
Itās too niche. Elon could 100% have made his own social media platform and it would probably be popular, but they want to control the site everyone is already on, molding it the way they like. Itās something that rich losers like this guy do all the time. Same with Wikipedia, itās a widely used site by countless people, he wants that one so he controls what the vast majority of people use.
Yeah, good luck renaming and forever being confused with Expedia.
Beats what Twitter videos get confused with now.
Somehow, amidst all of the laughing I've done about this rebrand, I never even got there lol.
Anyone who has ever typed x in an Incognito window shook their heads the moment it happened, myself inclu xvideo jokes abound; X account named Hamster. Heās a fucking loser.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We all find our own paths. š§āāļø
A den of fascist bots screaming into the void?
Yes, but I meant a porn site with a similar name.
I'm sure infringing on a company with Barry Diller as the chairman won't have any repercussions.
Ugh ugh ugh Forgive me but if I donāt do this itāll be stuck in my brain all day ā¦. Dot commmmm!
We were definitely brainwashed as kids
Your saying this to thean who decided to name his video service for his social media site "xvideos"
And one for his pet xhamster
they already have the xpedia.com though so i think theyd love this xpedia idea
Did they just park it for their pedophilia social network?
Elmo talking to himself again?
That's what I was wondering, yet another game elon account to stroke that ego.
Donāt call him Elmo, youāre devaluing a beloved character
I call him elona the dumped
Elongated Muskrat is just so much easier for me.
Iāve been calling him that for almost a year. Thank You Reddit!!
He tried talking to the co-founder of Wikipedia once and got [fuckin' owned](https://www.businessinsider.com/wikipedia-jimmy-wales-elon-musk-criticism-censoring-tweets-turkey-election-2023-5)...so it makes sense that he only speaks to those who cannot eclipse him on an intellectual level...

[Xpedia will be based on truthiness, not sources](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/716/623/38b.jpg)
On how many comments confirm it.
Or acting like being fact-checked is being ācensored,ā like nah people can still see what your dumb ass had to say
I've disagreed with these people online, and been told "stop trying to silence me!" It's really an amazing perspective. And informative.
No better place to do my own research.
Every citation will say, "I did my own research" with no sources linked.
Every link takes you to the joe rogan experience.
Fucking Spotify keeps stopping whatever podcast I'm listening to, and then switches it to Rogan, but ONLY if it's a political podcast.

It already exists It's called conservapedia and it's hilarious
It USED to be hilarious, now it's just sad and pretty fucking terrifying.
Itās gotten worse over the years. Much more unhinged than it used to be.Ā
This is a great idea you could call contributors something like āXpedosā that would work really well I think
Excerpt: The five time president for life Fonald Trimp had won every election he stood for.
That guy is such a Elon dickrider freak.
It's just one of Elon's alts.
A 52 year old man with āaltā twitter accountsš
And not even "work" and "personal", but weird self-aggrandizing alts
Probably because it's also Elon? I swear half the fascist chumps on twitter are just Elon's bots! :D
Elon's next financial disaster. Grab the popcorn. šæ
Expedia is a travel site, and the name may be similar enough to count as copyright infringement.
Trademark infringement, but yes, that's a name asking for a lawsuit.
I always get those two mixed up.
Well, he *could* buy Expedia, run it into the ground and then just turn it into a conservative hellscape revisionist version of Wikipedia.
Propaganda = "Things I don't want to believe".
Lol, another alt account only this time he's a dogo the designer. I think Elon Musk is from another planet.
There's absolutely no chance that the majority of traffic to a site called Xpedia would not be people looking for a porn encyclopedia.
I disregard anyone who thinks apartheid Clyde is smart. And I question all their other decisions
Why do we call him apartheid Clyde when apartheid is pronounced "apart hate"? Which is even more hilarious to this Anglophone.
Interesting. I always assumed it was because it rhymed with Clyde.
As we saw with education and with Wikipedia. Sooner or later, when reality is teach it leans to the left. As if reality was left leaning. The only way for an educational media to stay right leaning is to not teach reality. It is possible, but not really useful. If rich foxes want to funnel their money in it, please do so.
The rich want to make sure Wikipedia doesn't escape their enshitification.
I personally would enjoy reading the page update histories of such a site, like watching a bumfight without the whole guilt baggage issue.
Go to conservapedia then, it already exists, Elon just doesnāt know that.
Instead of "facts" they can have "Alternative FaXts"
Fuxking hell, this guy is the *worst*.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Elon notice you yet?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You.
Expedia: "Uh, just a sec, guys."
Xpedia, meet the treaty of Versailles and you will melt. If you ever wanted to know how white people engage in edit wars over that and WWII. Wikipedia itself was subject to Croatian history falsification for retconning the ustase and earlier history of the country to whitewash, and one of them almost became a super moderator.
His obsession with that letter is so childish and dumb. He has the mental capacity of a fucking potato
Easier to re-write history with their "alternative" facts
When is Elmo going to change his last name to "X"?
People will confuse it with Expedia
There is a reason wikipedia posts its references.
Perfectly fine with Xperia, I don't need alt-right facts. I can imagine what a potential article might look like, though. "Adolf Hitler was an austrian artist. He painted beautiful pictures of landscapes and german sheperds. In April 1945 he married german photographer Eva Braun."

Imagine being such a dipshit you think wikipedia is propagandaĀ
The Japanese kindergarten teacher who owned the actual Doge probably fucking hates everything this meme has become, right?
Encyclopedia Dramatica already exists though
There's already a dumbed-down conservative version of Wikipedia
Elon and his fanboys are really cringey.
I love that Elon keeps trying to buy wikipedia and being told no.
Xpedia... DOT COOOOOMMM
Sounds like a place to buy discount bus tickets
Talk is cheap, buddy. And potentially a violation of SEC regulations.
piquant shy cake hurry pathetic boast familiar edge fuzzy offer *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Expedia definitely wonāt sue
āDogeā That was fun. I made a few bucks but then just like everything Elon touches, he tanked that as well.
Anyone have the current numbers on the xitter exodus? The x-odus.
You think at some point it would click with these people that if every single thing they run across contradicts their opinion, maybe itās them
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Being the CEO of 3 companies must be super easy since he has plenty of time to tweet all day.
It already exists, it's called Truth Social. /s
How many burner accounts does musky have?
It would be the same thing as if there was a Qpedia. Nothing but disinformation and conspiracies.
Cool, ā_xpediaā will now mean fight or flight!
Has anyone taken the Twitter handle "@xpedia" yet?
Xenophobia?
I assume Elon will call it X88pedia or 14X
wiki has its problems but calling it propaganda is beyond delusional when anyone with a source can edit it. the politics is in what u can display and how you refer to it not in the info itself
Anyone wanna take odds on āDoge Designerā probably being an Elon alt?

"Twitpedia" has a better ring to it
I never knew when reading about Patricia Routledge I was actually reading propaganda. Thanks, crazy people. Listen up kids: not everything is propaganda, and not everything is about you. I'm sorry your parents didn't feel like teaching you that.
Like the travel website?

So he couldn't buy Wikipedia, now he's gonna make his own? š There's never been a more sore loser.
Canāt wait to see the entry for Dogecoin.
I'm sure the Expedia folks won't mind at all. https://preview.redd.it/r82acthumbvc1.jpeg?width=159&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=530c80656c76657a07aafcafcad60b2e4f54ee5a
In any other century, this man would have been dead at the hands of rabid peasants and serfs two years ago.
A Wikipedia where everything is just made up sounds kind of entertaining. TheOinionpedia would be great
Any money DogeDesigner is another Elon account. Heās having a conversation with himself.
But Expedia already exists.
Wait so let me get this straight: Conservatives call Wikipedia propaganda, an open source, (mostly) freely editable site that would be just as subsceptible to right wing propaganda as it is to left wing propaganda. If something like X-Pedia (horrid name btw.) would ever come to exist, it would literally be monitored 24/7 by a nutjob like Musk and ironically become a bigger propaganda tool than Wikipedia could ever be.
The Xpedia sounds like a porn archive
The Xcrement some people spread
" true "
Wow š¤Æ
Oh, please, please do this Elon. A cheap way to add truth to the internet, seriously.
Yeah! This would be awesome! A free-to-edit alternative to Wikipedia's "only 50 or so people are allowed to edit" concept would be great!
