Tesla CEO Elon Musk called Wikipedia “broken” after one of the site’s pages was revived defining former President Donald Trump as a “fascist.”

Ashley Rindsberg of Pirate Wires published a report on Tuesday detailing the circumstances under which the Wikipedia article “Donald Trump and Fascism,” since changed to “Comparisons between Donald Trump and fascism,” was recreated. The page, which effectively labeled Trump a fascist, was mainly written by just two editors, Di (they-them) and BootsED, who comprised 91.2% of all edits, an unusual pattern on a website featuring over 48 million editors in the English edition alone. The report caught the attention of Musk.
