Elon Musk Unveils Grokipedia to Rival Wikipedia

Elon Musk is taking on the open encyclopedia Wikipedia and is now launching Grokipedia – which he claims is already "10X better" than the rival.

Musk's company xAI had actually promised the site by September, but it was delayed because they had to "clean out propaganda". On Monday, the site had 885,000 articles, compared to Wikipedia's over seven million articles in English.

The site's content is generated by AI and the chatbot Grok.

According to Musk, Grokipedia's goal is "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". He has long claimed that Wikipedia's content is "extremely left-leaning" and is trying to get donations to the site to cease.

Wikipedia was created in 2001 and is an encyclopedia run by volunteers. It is largely financed by donations, and its pages can be written or edited by anyone. Its starting point is to be "neutral".
