Washington: In response to Wikipedia, Tesla CEO and the world’s richest entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has announced the launch of Grokpedia, with an initial version set to be released in the next two weeks.
Grokpedia aims to be the largest and most accurate knowledge source for both people and AI, operating without any restrictions.

Currently, many AIs gather information from the internet, and using Wikipedia can lead to the spread of misinformation.
Grokpedia will not be controlled by any activists or political parties. It will remain an open-source platform available for everyone to use free of charge.
Musk previously criticized Wikipedia’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict, pointing out that 40 super editors publish content favoring both Israel and Hamas, affecting the portrayal of the Israel-Palestine conflict. He claimed that edits are made to support Islamic extremists and that human rights violations by officials of the Islamic Republic Party are being removed. Musk stated there are group efforts to promote Iran’s government interests in several articles.
