If you thought the publishing industry trying to take down the Internet Archive was bad, and now you're watching Elon Musk attacking Wikipedia:
Billionaires are why we can't have anything nice.
Even when we do it ourselves, we can't have it. If it helps us learn, understand, think, reason, or argue, they don't want that for us.
They will kill it.

@ErosBlog @fredbrooker I reject it but not entirely. There's something in there. Not the "stupid" and not the "little people" but we, the demos (and I include me), create, enable, arm, elect, obey, feed, serve, the billionaires. Coerced by force and fear and propaganda, it's true, but also in the mix is laziness and complacency and credulity.

No.
I reject that entirely.
On top of the fact that phrasings like "little people" are destructive of the solidarity that we're all gonna need to survive, it's just factually incorrect.
"Little people" aren't capable of assaulting public interest institutions like the Archive and Wikipedia. That takes the concentrated malice of super-wealthy individuals.

it's not billionaires
it's stupid little people
remember that billionaires are usually created by stupid little people - you just need a random psychopath as a leader
