IMO Wales has been sitting on that chair for too long. He should retire.

It would also be better for Wikipedia to not have any "public face". I don't want fake-heroes; I want accurate, objective content.

I think he plays a good role as a lightning rod for all the MAGA morons to attack, rather than going after contributors. It's better that Musk has a tantrum at Jimmy rather than doxing some poor editor on X.

Sad that he has to play that role, but this is where we are at the moment.
