Elon Musk's Grokipedia: Just Another Wikipedia Clone or Something More?
Elon Musk’s latest brainchild, Grokipedia, is officially live, and it looks suspiciously familiar to Wikipedia.
The site bills itself as a Wikipedia-style encyclopedia “fact-checked by Grok,” Musk’s in-house AI from xAI. At first glance, Grokipedia feels like a stripped-down version of Wikipedia circa 2008.
- There’s a search bar.
- A bunch of text-heavy pages.
- Not a photo in sight.
The design screams “student project,” though to be fair, it’s labeled version 0.1.
Users can’t yet edit entries, a key part of what makes Wikipedia thrive, and even the mysterious “Edit” buttons that appear on a few pages don’t actually let you change anything.
Author's note: Grokipedia is a new encyclopedia project from Elon Musk.
