Musk launches Grokipedia, AI-run Wikipedia rival

Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, an AI encyclopedia he says aligns more with his rightwing views than Wikipedia, even as many entries cite Wikipedia. With no human authors, pages are “fact-checked” by Grok, his chatbot; Musk credits the idea to David Sacks. A critic of “mainstream media,” he urges reliance on X. Early entries echo conservative talking points: the January 6 Capitol article cites “widespread claims of voting irregularities” — a lie pushed by Donald Trump and his allies — and downplays Donald Trump’s role. Journalists have accused Grokipedia of inaccuracies, including a claim that pornography worsened the Aids epidemic.
