n this video, Joni Askola discusses why Elon Musk and the MAGA movement have been targeting Wikipedia and launching repeated attacks against it. Their motivations are interconnected, but simply put, they often claim to support free speech while only tolerating speech that aligns with their views or remains under their control.
Additionally, they see Wikipedia as an extension of the mainstream media, which they seek to discredit to undermine trust and gain greater control over the narrative.
Joni Askola also explores ways to counter this, such as supporting Wikipedia through donations and reducing reliance on X.
