1. Only after failing to rewrite his own history on Wikipedia did Musk’s criticism expand to broader complaints, such as Wikipedia’s supposed systemic bias. This crusade gained momentum through several high-profile incidents that became right-wing flashpoints, each fueling his campaign when the site’s coverage didn't match his desired framing. In July 2022, in one of his first tweets complaining about the site beyond where it mentioned him, Musk and others fell for the false statement by Mike Cernovich that “Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page.”39 An article screenshot provided by Cernovich featured text that had remained unchanged since the Trump administration, but that didn’t stop a right-wing firestorm, joined by Musk, where people claimed that Wikipedia had removed the common definition of “recession” as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. (It hadn’t). Tweet by Molly White @molly0xfff: absolutely begging people to learn how to diff wikipedia articles before falling for clickbait here's the "recession" article, on july 14 vs. today.
