One of the co-creators of Wikipedia has publicly asked President Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk to investigate whether federal employees have been paid with taxpayer money to edit entries posted to the online encyclopedia.
An original co-creator of one of the internet’s most used websites, Larry Sanger, took to social media on Wednesday and directly went to DOGE overseer Mr. Musk to look into the matter as he continues to root out government waste at Washington.
“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,” he wrote on X. “Such operations should be defunded, if any. If there are *none*, we’d like to know. Agree?”
