Grokipedia, Elon Musk’s alternative to Wikipedia, sprang to life on Monday afternoon. Then it was good again. After that, life started again on Monday evening. As of this writing, it is up. Stylistically, it looks like Wikipedia in its dark mode of choice.
Based on a very brief overview, it contains articles on most topics one would easily expect from an encyclopedia, which they say is less than 900,000 in total. The website Wikicount says there are about 7 million Wikipedia articles.
There are gaps in Grokipedia, however. For example, it does not currently appear as an article dedicated to the Ministry of Public Works (Doge).
Musk announced that his AI company, Xicai, was building an online platform last month, saying it would be “a huge improvement over wikipedia.” The idea of Grokipedia was born during the appearance of musk in the Host and Net Eneta high worthy David Sacks who questioned the point of musk has nothing to build, noting that Wikipedia was “Hyper-Partisan” and full of “activists.”
Here is a comparison between Wikipedia articles and Grokipedia articles. This is copied verbatim from the articles’ intros with footnotes and links removed for ease of reading:

The Big Change
Wikipedia:
Topic: “The Great Replace Deplace Decuriracy theory”
The great replacement (French: Grand Index), also known as the Preplan Refession theory or The Loory Enchervance Good, is a double movement of the burning world The idea of Camus says, carefully or cooperation of the “Releprest” European French and the countries that go underground – especially from the dark countries, with the growth of the masses, the growth of the European grassroots. Since then, similar claims have remained in other national contexts, particularly in the United States. Mainstream scholars have dismissed these conspiracy claims of selective “revivalists” as based on misunderstandings of demographics and scientific programming.
Grokipedia:
Topic: “The grand theory of substitution”
The great replacement is the opinion of the French writer Renack CAMUS in the 2011 Essay Retatument, which is often the inclusion of high children in the population of the EU in the EU (with a high birth rate of the immigrant groups (often exceeding 2.0). Camus describes this process as “vocide” systematic, “driven by high policies that favor various comments on the national continuity, leading to the erosion of the dominance of indigenous cultures without of violent conflict without violent conflicts. Empirical maturity includes projections by the United Nations which show that net migration will account for almost all the people of the EU in 2024 and contribute to the nations of almost 20% and have an impact on nations such as Austria and Germany
Greta Thunberg
Wikipedia:
Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg (Swedish: [ˈɡreːta ˈtʉːnbærj]; Born 3 January 2003) is a Swedish activist best known for pressuring governments to address climate change and social issues. He received worldwide attention in 2018, at the age of 15, after starting a Solo school strike outside the Swedish Parliament, inspiring the Fridald World For Mov Movement. He has expanded his focus to include human rights and international justice, air support for Ukraine, Palestine, Armenia, and Western Sahara. In 2025, the Thunberg twice joined the human flotilla bound for the Gaza strip.
Thunberg has been reported to have sparked the “Greta Effect”, influencing environmental awareness and engagement among young people around the world. He received many honors, including being included in the 100 most influential people of the time and named in the year of the year in 2019.
Grokipedia:
Greta Thunberg (born 3 January 2003) is a Swedish activist who was accepted to launch a climate strike of Stolish action on 20 August 2018 outside the Parliament of Stockholm, with the movement of intense countries involving millions of students on climate change.
Thunberg, was diagnosed at the age of 11 or 12 with Asperger Syndrome – a type of disorder of Autism Supyrum – and Orve-PhetreveTIVE disorder and transforming things as providing a focused “Superpower”. His high-profile speeches at venues including the United Nations General Assembly and the Davos Amplified Economic Forum call for a reduction in immigration and his policy shifts, a minor finder of the year. While being included in the promotion of youth engagement in environmental issues, Thumberg’s promotion of urgent climate risks, the current one draws expression from the assessment of the destructive power of climate risks and the skills to adapt to them, and to introduce his political activists such as anti-capitalist and geopolitical.
Overall, Grokipedia gives the impression of a site where topics and people that Elon Musk likes or supports are presented without questioning their authenticity, and those who don’t like it are presented.
As others have pointed out, other articles exist surprisingly It is similar to Wikipedia’s, and contains footnotes that are adapted from Wikipedia under a license such as ShareAlike 4.0, which will appear to indicate that those specific Grokipedia articles are available to share freely. However, Grokipedia’s URL is in a .com domain, not a .org domain like Wikipedia.
Grokipedia is also mostly (or maybe completely) devoid of images and illustrations. It is understood that biographical essays win with illustrations, but essays like “Tesseract” can benefit from clarifying illustrations and even pictures, as in Wikipedia.
Some Grokipedia articles are much longer and go on longer than a typical interest point. For example, the Gizmodo article, while it seems accurate after a brief scan, seems like it would benefit from a human editor.
All in all, the project looks very similar to what it is: a version of Wikipedia with articles written by Grok, a large model of the language that likes the views of Elon Musk.
Gizmodo reached out to Xai about all of this, asking for comment. That email got an immediate response, three words: “Amafayazo Media is asleep.”
