Woke Wikipedia Spends a Fortune on DEI Policies – Elon Musk Urges People to Stop Giving Them Money
Wikipedia’s left-wing bias is well known. Conservatives have been pointing it out for years.
Now it has been revealed that as a company, Wikipedia spends a massive amount of cash on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which is no surprise at all.
This just confirms what conservatives have been saying about the online encyclopedia all along.
Take a look at this:
WIKIPEDIA BLOWS $50M ON WOKENESS
Turns out nearly 30% of Wikipedia’s budget last year went to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
That’s $50 million for DEI instead of, you know, improving the actual site.

The New York Post reported:
Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
Elon Musk urged his supporters not to donate to the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia after the organization budgeted more than $50 million to spend on controversial diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
“Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority,” Musk wrote Tuesday on X, where he has nearly 210 million followers.
The Tesla mogul, and key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, was responding to a post by the right-leaning commentator “Libs of TikTok,” who shared a pie chart that showed 29% of Wikipedia’s $177 million budget for 2023-24 was targeted for “equity” and “safety & inclusion.“
The Wikimedia Foundation site said that it set a goal of spending $51.7 million in its budget: 17.6% ($31.2 million) on equity, and 11.6% ($20.5 million) on safety and inclusion. Infrastructure got the bulk of the $177 million with 48.7% ($86.1 million), followed by 22.2% ($39.2 million) on effectiveness.
If leftists want to keep giving their money to Wikipedia, that’s their business. No one else should be supporting the site as long as they are biased against conservatives and waste donated funds on DEI nonsense.
