30% of Wikipedia's Budget in 2024 Went to Inclusivity and Equality
Wikipedia disclosed its 2024 spending, sparking widespread debate. Out of user donations, $86 million were allocated to infrastructure, while $51 million—roughly 30% of the budget—went to programs promoting inclusivity and equality.
Social media, particularly X, erupted with criticism, with many users questioning these priorities. Speculation has arisen that 2025 donations may plummet, potentially forcing Wikipedia to consider Elon Musk's previous $1 billion offer to fund the site—contingent upon renaming it to "Dickipedia."
