Musk further elaborated in a response to a user’s reaction to his initial comments.

Musk’s jab at the inaccuracy of Wikipedia may not be unfounded.

A 2015 Forbes report concluded that the accuracy of Wikipedia mixed.

When compared to Encyclopedia Britannica, the report found that Wikipedia was more biased and left-leaning.

Of course, Live Science found that the pair  roughly similar in terms of accuracy.

The publication also noted a 2008 study that found Wikipedia to have an accuracy rate of about 80 percent compared to the 95 to 96 percent of other sources, noting that such a result is “not bad” for a crowd-sourced encyclopedia.
