Evidence that it’s an outright propaganda arm of the left, or of any political party, is thin. In fact, one of the most notable things about the site is how it has steered relatively clear of the profit-driven algorithmic mayhem that has flooded search engines and social-media platforms with bad or politically fraught information. If anything, the site, which is operated by a nonprofit and maintained by volunteers, has become more of a refuge in a fractured online landscape than an ideological prison—a “last bastion of shared reality,” as the writer Alexis Madrigal once called it.

In addition to formal government institutions, Musk is also trying to tear apart Wikipedia
That is almost certainly, as this analysis notes, because Wikipedia is "a last bastion of shared reality" ...
... and Musk, in contrast, only wants online sources that repeat his sort of conspiratorial blather
