Grokipedia is an artificial intelligence-powered online encyclopedia developed by xAI, an artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk. Launched on October 27, 2025,[1][2] it positions itself as an alternative to Wikipedia, with Musk claiming it would “purge out the propaganda” present in the latter.[1]
The site features more than 800,000 AI-generated entries and experienced a brief outage due to high traffic shortly after launch.[3] Entries are created and edited using xAI’s technology, including the Grok language model.[1] Some content has been noted to align with Musk’s personal views on topics such as gender transition and former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.[1][4][5]
History
Elon Musk announced plans for Grokipedia in late September 2025, amid his ongoing criticisms of Wikipedia’s alleged biases.[6] The project was postponed briefly in October to address content quality issues.[1] It went live on October 27, 2025, at grokipedia.com.[2]
