Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Sunday that xAI will launch a beta version of Grokipedia, a Wikipedia competitor, within two weeks.
Musk shared a post on X from user @amXFreeze, which described Grokipedia as ‘the world’s biggest, most accurate knowledge source, for humans and AI with no limits on use’.
“Currently, Grok is using massive amounts of inference compute to look at, sources like Wikipedia page and asking: What’s true, partially true, false, or missing?” the post read.
“Then it rewrites those pages, removing falsehoods, correcting half-truths, and adding crucial & missing context,” the post explained.
The user further wrote, “The reason why it will be the true knowledge source is because it’s built solely for the truth and to navigate to the truth… free from bias or hidden agendas.
“Elon never does anything by half measures, he dives straight to the full extent,” the post further added.
Musk has frequently criticised Wikipedia’s funding model and editorial practices.
His initiative to build an AI-powered platform that seeks to ‘navigate to the truth’ has sparked mixed reactions on X.
While some users have welcomed the idea of a strong alternative, others have warned that Grok’s own training data could carry inherent biases.
Musk has previously said that Grokipedia will represent a ‘significant improvement over Wikipedia’ and will play a key role in xAI’s broader mission to understand the universe.
Earlier this month, on 2 October, Musk became the first individual in history to achieve a net worth of $500 billion.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison holds the second spot, at a considerable distance.
Musk’s AI venture xAI reached a valuation of $75 billion in July.
The company had targeted a valuation of $200 billion following a fundraising round, although Musk noted at the time that it was not actively seeking capital.
