Musk Criticizes Wikipedia Ahead of Grokipedia Launch

[chainsniff]

Elon Musk has had a long-standing dispute with Wikipedia, alleging the platform hosts misinformation, displays editorial bias, and censors certain content.

In 2023, Musk jokingly offered $1 billion to rename Wikipedia “Dikipedia” to highlight alleged ideological bias. Grokipedia, which he plans to release via xAI, aims to provide a more accurate and open-source alternative, addressing concerns Musk has raised about the reliability of Wikipedia’s crowd-sourced content.

Classic Musk timing. He always builds hype by stirring debate before a major product drop.

Feels like a marketing move, but it’s working. Everyone’s talking about Grokipedia already.
