Frequently asked questions

Q1: Can I write a message to Elon Musk here? (No.)

A1: No. The "Talk:Elon Musk" page is not for writing messages to Musk. It is only for discussing changes to the Wikipedia article about him. Writing a message to Musk here is pointless and disruptive, and such messages will be removed as an improper use of the page.

Q2: Can you update the article to call Musk a "business magnet"? (No.)

A2: No. Musk once suggested in an interview that his Wikipedia article be changed to describe him as a "business magnet" rather than a magnate. The tone of that interview was not very serious; he also claimed to be an alien.^[1] Wikipedia doesn't have to do what Musk says, and this request has been made and declined dozens of times already. New requests may be removed without a response so that other discussions are not disrupted.

Q3: Should Musk be identified as South African in the opening sentence?

A3: Musk is a US citizen (since 2002) born and raised in South Africa, and also acquired Canadian citizenship via his mother. Including these nationalities in the opening sentence in a balanced way would be complex, and the consensus is that they should instead be explained later in the lead.

Q4: Can you change "Tesla CEO" to "Tesla Technoking"?

A4: No, because he is still CEO according to company records and that is a common corporate title that readers will understand, unlike "Technoking". The goal of the article is to inform people, which would be hindered by raising a confusing technicality.

Q5: Should the mention of Errol Musk having an interest in an emerald mine be removed in view of Elon's denials?

A5: While Elon today vehemently disputes any history with an emerald mine, he formerly accepted and even confirmed it. Specifically, a 2014 report originally printed in the San Jose Mercury News (and cited in the article) stated that Errol Musk had "a stake in" a mine. Elon affirmed his father's mine involvement in an interview with Jim Clash, a career interviewer of public figures, that was published by Forbes and withdrawn without explanation a few months later. Elon biographer Ashlee Vance likewise confirmed Errol's mining interest, with Elon's objections but not denials, in a 2020 interview report with Elon. Errol has stated that he received hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of emeralds from his dealings.

Q6: Should "Bachelor of Arts in Physics" be "Bachelor of Science" instead?

A6: No. Although it may seem counterintuitive, "Bachelor of Arts in Physics" is the degree that the University of Pennsylvania (among other schools) awards.

Q7: Should the article acknowledge doubts about Musk's academic record?

A7: Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons requires that negative information about a person must be attributed to reliable published sources, and excludes both self-published sources (e.g. Twitter threads) and court trial records. The article states that sources disagree about when Musk obtained bachelor degrees, and that he did not attend Stanford for any significant amount of time. Any doubts beyond this require appropriate sources.

Q8: Why doesn't this article describe Musk as an engineer?

A8: Musk is chief engineer of SpaceX, a title that applies within the company and that the press regularly mentions. He is not a professional engineer, a distinction within engineering that carries certain legal privileges in the United States, nor has he completed an engineering training program, nor has he ever been hired as an engineer. The article therefore does not include any of these claims. It does note that, from time to time, Musk has made initial product proposals at his companies that his trained engineers then research and develop. He does hold IEEE Honorary Membership.

Q9: Why doesn't the article identify Musk as co-founder of PayPal?

A9: Because that could mislead readers that Musk was involved in the creation of the PayPal service and brand, when he was not. Instead, as the article states, he co-founded a company (X.com Corporation) that acquired the company that had developed PayPal (Confinity Inc.) and then renamed itself as PayPal, Inc.

Q10: Why does this page include criticism of Musk's actions and stances?

A10: Musk is criticized/praised a lot in many reliable sources, and as such we need to talk about these criticisms and praise. To quote from Wikipedia's policy on a neutral point of view, articles must represent "fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."

Q11: Why is this a "good article" when some people consider Musk a bad person?

A11: "Good article" on Wikipedia refers to the way the article is written, not what kind of person Musk is. Good articles have been found to satisfy Wikipedia editorial standards for accuracy, verifiability and balanced presentation.

Q12: Why doesn't this page call Musk African American?

A12: African Americans are an ethnic group of Americans with total or partial ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa. Reliable sources do not use this term to describe Musk.

Where is the apology for the anitsemitic theory?

I'm trying to verify the second half of this: "endorsing an antisemitic theory; he has since apologized for the latter". I can't find this statement in the article, which is a violation of WP:LEAD. There are three sources cited but the words "apologize" and "sorry" don't appear in any of them. In fact one of them says "Despite widespread criticism, Musk has not backed off his antisemitic claims" which is kind of the opposite of an apology. I see this was already discussed on the talk page in June but that discussion doesn't answer the question. GA-RT-22 (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I found it, in the "Accusations of antisemitism" section. Not sure how I missed it before. I still think it's misleading to have three refs in the lead, none of which support the preceding material, and if I get ambitious I'll try to fix that.

Mr.Musk needs a new portrait

Mr. Musk needs a new portrait. I am aware of the survey at the top but consider that he has changed tremendously since 2018. Please make a second survey or give him a new portrait all together, suggest Opinion E. Thank you. Sincerely, a random IP User. 2601:483:400:1CD0:4012:42FA:169B:52B8 (talk) 03:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 7 November 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to suggest that Musk be described as "a business magnate, oligarch, and investor known for his key roles in the space company SpaceX and the automotive company Tesla, Inc."

This more accurately describes his role in the economy, media, and politics. Firecat93 (talk) 17:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oligarch?

I would like to suggest that Musk be described as "a business magnate, oligarch, and investor known for his key roles in the space company SpaceX and the automotive company Tesla, Inc."

This more accurately describes his role in the economy, media, and politics, as Musk, the richest person in the world, controls X, spent hundreds of millions in the U.S. election, and has been promised a major regulatory role in the upcoming U.S. administration.

Firecat93 (talk) 17:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does it, I disagree. It seems to be that he may be an oligarch soon, but he is not one yet. And business Magnet has been rejected more than once, as he is not often referred as that (or oligarch). Slatersteven (talk) 18:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An oligarch is "a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence." Why wouldn't Musk meet this criteria? Firecat93 (talk) 18:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ask RS, as they need to say he is. Slatersteven (talk) 18:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who is RS? Firecat93 (talk) 18:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to read MOS:OPENPARABIO, which documents how we describe people in the opening paragraph of a biography. GA-RT-22 (talk) 20:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see many reliable sources which clearly and unambiguously call him an oligarch so I do not think its appropriate. What might be appropriate now is "known for his key roles in the space company SpaceX and the automotive company Tesla, Inc as well as his support of Donald Trump in the 2024 Election." if you want to highlight his seemingly newfound political superstardom (it does seem due to do so). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. That's perhaps a better alternative. Firecat93 (talk) 22:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would be opposed to that. His support of Trump isn't part of what makes him notable. GA-RT-22 (talk) 23:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing what someone first became notable for with why they are currently notable. In the last two years the political stuff has gotten as much significant coverage as his involvement with all his companies in that same time period combined, I'm not saying I agree with the relative importance (I tend to think that the media undercovers technology and overcovers politics) but we follow the coverage. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:39, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree with Horse Eye's Back. I believe we have reached a consensus. Firecat93 (talk) 04:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a consensus here. GA-RT-22 (talk) 05:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let us put it up for a vote. Do you have an argument against including it? It has generated significant media coverage. Musk's election related content has generated billions of views. Firecat93 (talk) 06:27, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFC? OK. Slatersteven (talk) 11:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, can you please initiate it? Firecat93 (talk) 11:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I said OK, why do you need to ask? Slatersteven (talk) 11:38, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am unfamiliar with the process. I am relatively new to Wikipedia. Sorry. Firecat93 (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I;ll try, but remember I am not you. Slatersteven (talk) 11:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion (Request for comment on expanding description)

Oppose – Not in the first sentence, per MOS:FIRSTBIO. I would be ok putting it in the opening paragraph as long as it doesn't just duplicate what's in the last paragraph. GA-RT-22 (talk) 13:42, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: this would be pure WP:RECENTISM. It is way too early to say if his current notoriety as a Trump supporter will be a long-term factor in his overall notability. The existing mention in the final paragraph of the lead is sufficient. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. (Summoned by bot) Not in the lead sentence per MOS:FIRSTBIO. The support contributes to Musk's notability, but did not make Musk notable. The support should be mentioned later in the lead section, just not in the opening paragraph as that would be recentism. Politrukki (talk) 14:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, genuinely not seeing how you can use MOS:FIRSTBIO and WP:RECENTISM to oppose inclusion... This would be the "One, or possibly more, noteworthy positions, activities, or roles that the person is mainly known for, avoiding subjective or contentious terms." that we cover in addition to "The main reason the person is notable (key accomplishment, record, etc.)" Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not the main thing he is known for. If he gets a position in Trump's cabinet, I would support including that in the opening paragraph. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not in the first sentence, possibly later included in the first paragraph. At this point in time, it's too soon to tell if this description will be notable enough to include. According to Views of Elon Musk, he supported Obama in 2008/2012 and Hillary in 2016, and Biden in 2020, and now Trump in 2024. He's all over the place, and we aren't on a deadline. Isaidnoway (talk) 11:21, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Musk has played a major role in the Trump campaign, including through X, which he owns, and this has contributed to his notoriety. Firecat93 (talk) 16:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: per MOS:FIRSTBIO, this is not the main reason for Musk's notability, not even close. If it goes anywhere it should be towards the end of the lead. TarnishedPath^talk 07:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
