Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

To everyone thinking Wikipedia should go with the deal and then change the name back.
It’s like taking money for doing d*ck tatoo on forehead and then doing laser removal, humiliation. No foundation or company should show they are craving for money by doing anything someone would pay for.
Honestly, they’d be stupid not to take it.
Imagine how much you could do with a billion. It’d perpetually sustain the organization, it’d allow them to hire translators and writers, resulting in better content for all of us.
Hell, I’d take it, and 99.9% of people on this planet would too.
Did he offer them a legal contract? Because otherwise he’s just flapping his fat lips, seeking attention like a toddler.
If the deal were real of course
In practice organizations don’t have mechanizms to secure such amounts of money. It would be a massive cake to divide. Dirty money is dirty money, don’t show Elon Musk he can de anything.

I don’t think it’s immoral, but who in their right mind takes Elon seriously? Would you really accept 1 billion dollar from a known attention-seeker scammer, if you tattoo your forehead? No thanks.
If this were coming from Jeff, or even a drug lord, I would probably be ok with it, as long as they are serious and without childish conditions.

I think you misunderstood, if Elon were to be taken seriously I would definitely accept it, but are you really sure he will go though the deal? That guy is a clown, can’t be trusted a bit.
Who hurt you?
It’s honestly kinda perplexing.
Everyone keeps talking about taxing the rich but when someone offers to give a nonprofit we all love a billion dollars it’s suddenly the worst thing on the planet.
Are you that naive by choice or what?
Worst case, they can keep chugging along without any changes, except maybe stopping the donation “nag”.
I think you call his bluff, play chicken with him. See what he comes up with as his terms to the agreement, read the contract, have lawyers check it for loopholes and it they find one, sign the deal and exploit it.
Then donate the money to another foundation.
At some point I’d be willing to bet he would back down and not follow through, but anybody that is in a position to call him on his bullshit should do it
No reason. It would require elon to be part of whatever position and he will destroy it like twitter.
Also his endgoal is most probably to control what’s written about him
