Elon Musk

The Wikipedia article on Elon Musk has been edited 17,888 times since it was created in 2004, by 4,314 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 813 recorded changes a year, or several every day, which puts it among the more actively maintained pages on the encyclopedia.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for about 53% of the changes, with the rest spread across a long tail of occasional editors. That is a fairly typical mix of regular maintainers and passing corrections.

Within the retrieved window, 2026 carries the most recorded activity, with 500 changes. The page is currently busy: 241 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 23 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 45% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in February 2025. Traffic spikes and editing spikes often line up, but the revision record alone cannot tell you which one caused the other, or whether an outside event drove both.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 3% of the 17,888 recorded edits. Figures drawn from that window describe the window only, and the report cannot establish why a change was made or whether it was correct.
