Wikipedia, launched in 2001, has grown into the seventh most-visited website globally, boasting over 64 million pages (7 million articles) across 329 languages and attracting more than 4 billion visits each month. Officially, Wikipedia operates under the policies of "verifiability" and "neutrality," but in practice, the world's largest online encyclopedia has been hijacked by left-wing activists who manipulate narratives and silence dissenting viewpoints. The danger is no longer confined to everyday readers seeking truth, as today's leading AI models are being trained on biased garbage.

Given this backdrop and Musk's stated pursuit of truth to advance civilization, he revealed Tuesday morning that his team at xAI will soon roll out a rival online encyclopedia, integrated with the Grok chatbot, called "Grokipedia."

"We are building Grokipedia @xAI . Will be a massive improvement over Wikipedia. Frankly, it is a necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe," Musk wrote on X.

Musk's announcement was prompted by a post from White House crypto czar David Sacks, who shared a Tucker Carlson interview with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger. In the interview, Sanger warned that left-wing activists had corrupted Wikipedia and seized control of its ability to shape narratives with a toxic leftist tilt. 

Sacks wrote on X, "Wikipedia is hopelessly biased. An army of left-wing activists maintain the bios and fight reasonable corrections. Magnifying the problem, Wikipedia often appears first in Google search results, and now it's a trusted source for AI model training. This is a huge problem."
