Let's see if they will include all Trump's felonies that are documented in the grokpedia. I bet he will erase it. How about Epstein files , I bet he will not include that too.

It’ll be a niche in itself. It will fail in the large scheme of things, however it will have its cult following.

Elon Musk is never tired of being many lights in the way of anything.
If you get tired of him, you get tired of being in the way.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has launched Grokipedia, a new online encyclopedia designed to compete with Wikipedia, which the billionaire has long accused of political bias.

The site, branded version 0.1, went live on Monday with more than 885,000 articles — far fewer than Wikipedia’s seven million English-language entries, but already drawing global attention. Musk promised an upgraded version 1.0 would be “10X better,” declaring that Grokipedia already surpasses its established rival.

“The goal of Grok and Grokipedia.com is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” Musk wrote on X, pledging to avoid ideological slant.


Originally set for release in September, Grokipedia was delayed to “purge out the propaganda,” according to Musk. The entrepreneur, who has often criticised Wikipedia for being “controlled by far-left activists,” insists his platform will prioritise factual accuracy powered by AI and the generative assistant Grok.

A Grokipedia entry about Musk describes him as influencing debates on “technological progress, demographic decline, and institutional biases,” while noting “systemic left-leaning tilts” in media coverage.

By contrast, Wikipedia founded in 2001 and maintained by volunteers, maintains a “neutral point of view” and relies largely on donations to remain free.

Wikipedia traffic dips amid AI rise

In a related development, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) reported an 8% decline in human pageviews on Wikipedia compared to last year. The organisation linked the drop to generative AI tools and evolving search habits that deliver information directly to users without visiting source pages.

Marshall Miller, WMF’s Senior Director of Product, said the change reflects how AI is reshaping online information discovery, noting that many search results now quote Wikipedia content without crediting or directing traffic back to the site.

The decline also followed updates to WMF’s bot detection system, which reclassified certain visits previously mistaken for human traffic.

Wikipedia has always been plagued by "article vandalisms" from propagandists and secessionists who hijacked it by re-editing article entries and use it to spread massive disinformation and historical revisionism.

Grokipedia.com has to serve as a BETTER avenue to STOP the spread of disinformation. If NOT then Elon shouldn't bother to waste his money on this project.

Another security architecture layer couched under altruism. They will harvest data and use it in warfare as we witnessed in the Gaza genocide.

China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and others will not fall for the bait.

What did you know about investment Elon musk is a Fvcking entrepreneur, and the job of every entrepreneur is to take a leap of faith. Did you think that he is an automobile specialist before starting Tesla undecided . You don't need to be a specialist in any field before you succeed in the biz just have the entrepreneurship mindset.
Even Dangote is not a petrochemical specialist or a Petro marketer yet he is doing well in the oil industry
get your point.
Re: Elon Musk Launches Grokipedia To Rival Wikipedia by Fortune109(m):
😎

My question remains... what exactly makes Elon Musk the richest Man on Earth??

What household product does he have that generates more money than everyone else's??

Is it X?? Do people use X more than Tiktok ??

Is it Tesla?? How many people drive tesla around the world as compared to Toyota??

Is it his robots?? How many homes have them even in Europe and America??

Is it AI?? There are many AI Apps and machines out there from different tech companies...he doesn't have any Monopoly on AI...

Is it his Space Ship?? How many people do travel to space ??


What exactly is going on in this world?? How could people just pretend they dont know these facts and everyone just continues to brandish this guy as the richest...on what basis please??
Is there any other definition of money I don't understand?? Is money now based on Fame?? Is money now based on how many futuristic ideas you can come up with even without them bringing physical cash??

Or is the Richest Man Tittle now a Racial Thing that has to be used to promote Racial Supremacy which Mr Musk is just lucky to be the Figure??

Because nobody can convince me that this guy is even richer than Toyota CEO...




🙄

Competition checkmates everyone. Look at Dangote, DSTV and APC, this should tell you why competition is very important for our overall sanity, fairness and survival.
