Wikipedia Co-founder: It's Not Neutral, Needs to Be Investigated.
By Charlie McCarthy. 10 March 2025.

A co-founder of Wikipedia has called on President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency to investigate whether U.S. government officials have influenced the online encyclopedia.

Larry Sanger, who left Wikipedia in 2002, took to social media late last month to make a request of Elon Musk, Trump's DOGE chief.

"Hi @ElonMusk. Wikipedia co-founder here. May I ask you to determine what branches of the U.S. government—if any!—have employees paid to edit, monitor, update, lobby, etc., Wikipedia?" Sanger wrote Feb. 26 on X.

"Such operations should be defunded, if any. If there are none, we'd like to know. Agree?"

A Wikipedia critic for nearly 20 years, Sanger also asked Trump to assure that the federal government does not fund Wikipedia.

"Hi, @realDonaldTrump—co-founder of Wikipedia here—could I persuade you to use an executive order to make it a policy that neither federal worker hours nor federal moneys may be used to edit Wikipedia or pay for Wikipedia editing?" Sanger wrote on X in a post that has received more than 35 million views.

"Thanks in advance. (I voted for you.)"

Musk responded to Sanger's comment by saying, "Good idea."

This, right here. This is the only authority DOGE and this administration have to look into the wiki. Only if they can find evidence that tax payers are paying folks in the government to meddle in private on-line media or social media.

Otherwise? It is none of DOGE's business what retired spooks do with their free time.

How can Wikipedia be sanctioned? If the people were doing this at work, it’s on them. Clear 1st Amendment protection.

Trump/MuskMAGA attack any speech they deem detrimental to their agenda, using very little in the way of truth. As we know the ā€œFree Speech Absolutistā€ has been proven to be a free speech HYPOCRITE! They use lies to convince people the programs that help them are stealing from them, when it’s really Trump’s billionaire cabal. Show me anything Soros has done that compares to Trump and Musk’s dragging the economy into the sewer.
