How Elon's Grokipedia holds up against Wikipedia
Behind the hype lies an ambition larger than just rewriting the internet’s encyclopaedia: Musk wants to challenge who gets to define truth. Grokipedia, built by Musk’s xAI team and powered by its Grok large language model, is positioned as a “less biased” alternative to the “venerable” Wikipedia. Of course, in Musk-world, “less biased” translates loosely to “more aligned with Elon’s worldview.” Not that Wikipedia isn’t biased — and in particular topics, is left of Fidel Castro.
