Elon Musk unveils Grokipedia to compete with Wikipedia
Elon Musk, the visionary behind xAI, announced the launch of Grokipedia v0.1 early Tuesday morning.
The AI-driven encyclopedia, powered by xAI’s Grok AI, is being touted as a revolutionary alternative to the long-standing Wikipedia, with the tech billionaire boldly claiming it outperforms its predecessor even in its initial beta phase.
“Version 1.0 will be 10X better, but even at 0.1, it’s better than Wikipedia imo,” Musk posted on X.
The launch directed users to the open-source site where version 0.1 went live. The platform features over 800,000 articles generated by Grok and integrated with real-time data from X, according to Musk.

“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,” the xAI CEO stated.
However, the rollout was not without hiccups. The site experienced a brief crash when accessed by our reporter due to overwhelming traffic, but has since stabilised.
Grokipedia adapts some content from Wikipedia under a Creative Commons licence while aiming to purge perceived biases through an evidence- and physics-based rewriting process—Musk teased in September before delaying the launch to refine its approach.
