Elon Musk Unveils Grokipedia, Aims To Challenge Wikipedia With ‘Truth-Based’ Alternative

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has unveiled Grokipedia, a new online encyclopedia created to challenge Wikipedia, which Musk has repeatedly accused of promoting ideological bias.

Launched on Monday, the debut version—tagged 0.1—already contained more than 885,000 articles by evening. While that’s far fewer than Wikipedia’s over seven million English entries, Musk touted Grokipedia as a more truthful alternative.

He revealed that an upgraded version, Grokipedia 1.0, is on the way and promised it would be “10X better” than the current version, which he claimed is already “better than Wikipedia.”

“The goal of Grok and Grokipedia.com is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We will never be perfect, but we shall nonetheless strive towards that goal,” Musk wrote on X following the launch.

According to him, the release had been delayed from its initial September date to “purge out the propaganda,” emphasizing his vision of building a fact-driven, bias-free knowledge platform.
