Wikipedia has locked Elon Musk’s page after his bizarre request to people to trash him on Wikipedia

Elon Musk tweeted saying, “Please trash me on Wikipedia, I’m begging you”


Many of his followers took up the challenge and shared their edits. One user wrote, “All major wars, diseases and financial disasters of the last century can be directly attributed to Mr. Musk or one of his companies”

However, Due to the overwhelming traffic on Musk’s Wikipedia page, his page was quickly locked by the company, which limited changes to only editors approved by the site itself.
