- hey moops,
- why is this factual addition reverted?

- Twitter is not a reliable source. If you cite it from a reliable source (see here), then its fine. Wikipedia is not about the facts from direct sources, it is about bringing reliable, secondary (sometimes primary) sources together and letting that paint the picture.

- Thank you!
- I'm just wondering because in this specific case it is a tweet from Musk himself and I can't find find articles talking about it, and if I'd find one it would probably just quote musks tweet.
- maybe I'm misunderstanding wikis guidelines GXBaum (talk) 19:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
