Tesla CEO Elon Musk
Elon Musk has unveiled Grokipedia, a crowdsourced online encyclopedia that he aims to position as a rival to Wikipedia.
Announcing the launch on social media, Musk wrote, “Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live,” adding that “Version 1.0 will be 10X better.” According to Musk, Grokipedia’s mission is to deliver “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
Elon Musk launches Grokipedia
Musk has previously criticised Wikipedia for being filled with “propaganda” and called for people to stop donating to the site. In September he announced that his artificial intelligence company xAI was working on Grokipedia.
The Grokipedia site has a minimalist appearance with little beyond a search bar that users can type in queries. It states that it has 885,279 articles. Wikipedia, meanwhile, says it has more than 7 million articles in English.
Nice work by the @xAI team on https://t.co/op5s4ZiSwh!
The goal here is to create an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge.
Then place copies of that etched in a stable oxide in orbit, the Moon and Mars to preserve it for the future.
Foundation.

While Wikipedia is written and edited by volunteers, it’s unclear how exactly Grokipedia articles are put together. Reports suggest the site is powered by the same xAI model that underpins Musk’s Grok chatbot, but some articles are seemingly adapted from Wikipedia.
Grokipedia’s entry on Wikipedia accuses the site of having “systemic ideological biases—particularly a left-leaning slant in coverage of political figures and topics.”
