Musk had blasted the company a few days earlier for apparently considering the deletion of a page about the so-called "Twitter Files" saying it has a "left-wing bias."
On Tuesday, one user tweeted that Wikipedia was "voting on the deletion of the entry for Elon Musk's Twitter Files," because editors considered it a "nothing burger," that is "not notable."
The user posted screenshots of Wikipedia editors voting on the deletion of the article with one saying the content of Hunter Biden's laptop was a "nothing event about another nothing event."
Musk responded saying: "Most of Earth: 'The MSM is biased.' Wikipedia: 'Cite MSM source to confirm this claim.' Wikipedia has a non-trivial left-wing bias." He then tagged Wales asking "what are your thoughts?" Wales did not respond.
Musk had teased the release of the "Twitter Files" last week saying he would expose "free speech suppression" by the platform before he took over. Under Musk's instructions, journalist Matt Taibbi, published a thread of tweets on Friday showing internal communications between Twitter executives and Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.
The campaign had asked Twitter to remove leaked explicit pictures of Hunter Biden after he reportedly left his laptop at a Delaware repair shop. Posting the photos on Twitter constituted a violation of the company's revenge porn policy.
