   I saw some other articles that were word for word taken from Wiki, the   
   site that Musk derides but takes from.  Makes sense that he would make   
   Fuentes look like a wonderful guy.   
      
   To me, that does not matter because without your links, I'd never look   
   up information about him or any other politician. Wiki is useful when   
   looking for information on the Grand Canyon or how some whisky is made.   
      
   I dislike Musk so when I saw what he was doing, it was an incentive to   
   donate more than usual to Wiki.
