Elon Musk has officially launched Grokipedia, a new AI-driven encyclopedia developed by his artificial intelligence company xAI. The platform, released in version 0.1 on Monday, features over 885,000 articles and is designed to serve as an “unbiased” alternative to Wikipedia. Musk announced the launch via his X account, describing Grokipedia as a truth-first knowledge platform that aims to eliminate ideological bias.
The release follows xAI’s rollout of Grok’s video generation model and marks another step in Musk’s broader push to reshape digital information tools.
Elon Musk launched Grokipedia on October 27, 2025, through his AI startup xAI, with the platform now live at Grokipedia.Com The encyclopedia is designed to be a factual, AI-powered alternative to Wikipedia, which Musk has criticized for perceived bias. Grokipedia uses xAI’s Grok model to generate and verify content, and it allows users to flag inaccuracies or request clarifications. The platform is currently in version 0.1, with version 1.0 expected to be “10X better,” according to Musk.
Platform Features and Design
- Article count: Over 885,000 entries at launch
- Design: Minimalist layout with dark/light theme toggle
- Functionality: Users can highlight text to mark errors or ask Grok for more context
- Fact-checking: Each article includes a timestamp and source citations
- Editing: No direct user edits; only suggestions allowed
The interface closely resembles Wikipedia, but with AI-driven updates and moderation.
Quotes and Reactions
Musk posted on X:
“The goal of Grok and Grokipedia is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
He added:
“Even at 0.1, it’s better than Wikipedia imo. Version 1.0 will be 10X better.”
While Musk’s supporters praised the launch, outlets like Wired and The Washington Post raised concerns about potential bias and content accuracy.
Tech Landscape and Public Reception
Grokipedia enters a crowded field of digital knowledge platforms but differentiates itself through AI curation and Musk’s branding. Its emphasis on “unbiased truth” appeals to users skeptical of traditional media and crowd-sourced content. However, early criticism suggests that Grokipedia may reflect Musk’s ideological leanings, raising questions about neutrality and editorial control.
The platform’s success will depend on its ability to scale, maintain factual integrity, and respond to public scrutiny.
What’s Next: Version 1.0 and Feature Expansion
- Version 1.0: In development, expected to include enhanced accuracy and interface upgrades
- Multimedia support: Currently missing; future updates may add images and infographics
- Language expansion: No foreign-language versions yet
- Community tools: Editing permissions and moderation features under review
xAI plans to integrate Grokipedia with other Grok-powered tools in the coming months.
