Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has once again made headlines, this time by offering a staggering $1 billion to Wikipedia in exchange for a name change.

Musk, known for his candid and sometimes controversial posts on Twitter, proposed that Wikipedia rebrand itself as "Dickipedia" in the "interests of accuracy."

This announcement comes on the heels of Musk's recent takeover of Twitter, which was subsequently rebranded as "X."
