00:00So just to be clear, before we move on, Wikipedia is not and cannot be for sale.
00:07It is not and cannot be for sale, no. No interest whatsoever.
00:12Elon Musk, of course, very upset about accusations that he made a Nazi salute and he went on to demand a boycott of Wikipedia
00:24until his entry or the entry on Nazi salutes in general was changed.
00:30Have people heeded that call to stop funding Wikipedia?
00:36No, I mean, actually, we normally get a nice surge in donations every time he says don't give money to Wikipedia.
00:42It's sort of like he's kind of seeing fewer car sales with his behavior.
00:47People don't do what Elon says. They respond to Elon in certain ways.
00:51And I think he's doing himself far more harm than he's doing to us, that's for sure.
00:56But we do worry about it, of course.
