Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI is set to launch an “early beta version” of Grokipedia, a competitor to Wikipedia. According to the entrepreneur, the service will counter “lies and half-truths.”

Details about the project remain scarce. Previously, Musk stated that Grokipedia would be an “open-source knowledge repository.”
The idea for the project emerged at the All-In Podcast summit in September. During his speech, Musk explained to participants that the Grok AI model scans various sources to verify information accuracy and then rewrites it to present the “whole truth.”

One of the hosts suggested Musk launch Grokipedia as a separate service, to which he replied that he would discuss it with his team.
Musk has long criticized Wikipedia, accusing the platform of misinformation, bias, and censorship. In October 2023, he offered to pay $1 billion if the site changed its name to Dickipedia.

His criticism is shared by Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who left the project in 2002. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, he claimed that censorship exists on the platform. According to him, “an entire army of administrators” blocks users over ideological disagreements.
xAI’s plans are not limited to creating an encyclopedia. Musk also announced that by the end of next year, the company’s division will release an AI-generated game.

Back in August, xAI filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of an “anti-competitive scheme.”
