NEW YORK – Elon Musk is developing a new online encyclopedia called Grokipedia, which he says will offer “unfiltered truth” through advanced artificial intelligence. The platform is intended to compete with Wikipedia by eliminating what Musk has described as bias, censorship, and hidden agendas.

A test version of Grokipedia is expected to launch in roughly two weeks. According to posts shared on X, the site will rely on heavy computing power to examine a wide range of sources—including Wikipedia—and then classify information as accurate, partly accurate, false, or incomplete. The system will rewrite entries to fix errors and add missing details, with the goal of creating what Musk calls the most reliable knowledge base available.
Musk has repeatedly criticized Wikipedia for perceived political bias and for echoing mainstream media narratives. Earlier this year, he publicly encouraged people to stop donating to the site, arguing that it lacks balance.
Grokipedia will operate using Grok, Musk’s in-house AI assistant integrated into X. Grok is already capable of answering user questions, analyzing video posts, and generating content. Musk has said that future versions of Grok will retrain themselves on the improved Grokipedia database.
Details about how the public will be able to edit or challenge entries have not been released. Other attempts to create alternatives to Wikipedia have struggled with governance and credibility, raising questions about how Grokipedia will address those hurdles.
Version 0.1 early beta of Grokipedia will be published in 2 weeks https://t.co/M6VrGv8zp5
