'This is madness!': Elon Musk demanded to amend the article about him on Wikipedia

Tesla CEO Ilon Musk was getting ready for Christmas, studying his Wikipedia page. He did not agree with some information provided there, he writes Business Insider.

“Just looked at my Vicky for the first time in years. This is madness!" — Musk wrote on Twitter on Sunday, December 22. He added that his page was “a war zone with millions of edits.”

The tech billionaire also disagrees with some of the language in the article.

“Can someone please remove “investor”? I make virtually zero investment,” he wrote.

“If Tesla & SpaceX go bankrupt, so will I. As it should be,” he added, implying that most of his wealth comes from shares in two companies. He made similar arguments during his legal fight with British cave diver Vernon Unsworth, during which Musk said he didn't have much money.

A user on Twitter asked Musk if Tesla was considered an investment, to which Musk replied that he had invested the revenues of all his companies in each other.

“These are all companies in which I played a fundamental role. It’s not right to ask others to invest money if I don’t invest my own,” he said.

Another Twitter user suggested that the term “investor” could be replaced with “business magnet,” to which Musk replied “yes,” followed by laughing emoticons and heart emoticons. Musk previously joked that he would like to be called a business magnet, not a business magnate.

On Sunday evening, a change was made to the Wikipedia page about Musk, which replaced the word “investor” with “business magnet” (the page history clarifies: “as requested by Elon Musk”). “Business Magnet” has since been removed, but the “investor” edit remains unchanged.

Musk nevertheless invested in companies: he was one of the first investors in the DeepMind artificial intelligence research startup before it was bought by the parent company Google, Alphabet, in 2014. Musk said in an interview with Vanity Fair in 2017 that he invested in DeepMind to monitor AI progress, and not because of financial returns.
