Elon Musk has launched Grokipedia, a crowd-sourced online encyclopedia that the billionaire seeks to position as a rival to Wikipedia.
Writing on social media, Mr Musk said that “Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live” and promised that “Version 1.0 will be 10X better”.
Grokipedia’s goal is the “truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”, he said.
Mr 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.
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.

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 seven million articles in English.
Like Wikipedia, users can search for articles on various topics such as Taylor Swift, the baseball World Series, or Buckingham Palace.
While Wikipedia is written and edited by volunteers, it is unclear how exactly Grokipedia articles are put together.
Reports suggest the site is powered by the same xAI model that underpins Mr 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”.
