Elon Musk Launches Grokipedia: Can AI Be Trusted to Tell the Truth?

Elon Musk's Grokipedia has just gone online, an AI-driven rival of Wikipedia that Musk promises to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Musk also revealed that this new platform will be fully open source, so anyone can use it for anything at no cost,

Musk admitted there is no way that the platform can be perfect, but this is the goal the platform is striving towards. But as the platform lets artificial intelligence become the final arbiter of knowledge, a deeper question looms: can AI itself ever be trusted to decide what’s true?

Unveiled on October 27, 2025, Grokipedia marks Musk’s most ambitious information project yet. Built entirely on Grok AI, Grokepedia has already published more than 885,000 articles on its platform, all generated or moderated by artificial intelligence.

Musk also claimed that version 1.0 will be released soon, and this new version will be "ten times better" than the current version. This project comes after Musk's repeated criticism of Wikipedia, which he accuses of being biased and lacking neutrality.

Unlike Wikipedia relies on a blend of editorial volunteers and automated tools, Grokipedia places full editorial control in AI hands. Users can suggest additions or corrections, but Grok makes the final call.

“It will either take the action or tell you it won’t and why.”

Wikipedia vs. Grokipedia: The Battle Over Neutrality

Musk’s feud with Wikipedia has been brewing for years. He has accused the site of political bias, particularly on right-leaning topics. Grokipedia’s own article on Wikipedia references studies suggesting the platform’s coverage “deviates from neutrality,” often depicting conservative figures more negatively.

Even side-by-side comparisons reveal philosophical divergence. For instance, Grokipedia’s entry on George Floyd highlights his criminal record first — while Wikipedia begins with details about the white police officer who killed him.

However, critics of the new Grokipedia platform have accused the knowledge depository platform of replacing one kind of bias with another. NBC News noted that Grokipedia entry for Musk did not mention the hand gesture he made in January 2025, which many viewed as a nazi salute while Wikipedia did.

These editorial contrasts illustrate two competing visions of truth: one shaped by human consensus, the other by algorithmic authority.

Musk presents Grokipedia as the next logical step in the evolution of knowledge — an encyclopedia immune to activist editing and “cancel culture.” Yet experts warn that AI-generated neutrality may be an illusion.

Ultimately, the decisions made by the algorithms are a result of the information that was fed into the system in the first place. In trying to escape human subjectivity, Grokipedia could inadvertently amplify it — just in code form.

Still, the experiment marks a turning point. With Grok acting as editor-in-chief, Grokipedia effectively becomes the first large-scale test of autonomous editorial governance — where a machine, not a human community, decides what survives in the public record.

The Dogecoin Connection: Coincidence or Strategy?

Musk’s ventures have long blurred the line between innovation and market influence, and Grokipedia is no exception. Analysts note that every major Musk project — from SpaceX updates to xAI announcements — tends to ripple through the crypto market, especially Dogecoin (DOGE), Musk’s self-proclaimed “favorite memecoin.”

While Grokipedia’s debut hasn’t yet triggered a DOGE rally, speculation is growing that the platform could become another vehicle for Musk’s “Musk effect” on crypto markets. If Grokipedia includes favorable mentions of Dogecoin or related technologies, it could easily reignite investor enthusiasm — much like Musk’s past social media posts have done.

Beyond price action, Grokipedia may also serve a symbolic purpose: reinforcing Musk’s broader vision of an AI–crypto convergence, where decentralized currencies and intelligent algorithms reshape both information and value systems.

Musk’s Truth Machine or Marketing Engine?

Grokipedia sits at the crossroads of two revolutions — AI and decentralization — but it embodies neither fully. While Musk promotes it as a bastion of truth, its centralized structure, controlled by a single AI and overseen by one company, contrasts sharply with the transparent, community-driven ideals of Web3.

Whether Grokipedia becomes the “future of knowledge” or another Musk-powered echo chamber will depend on how it evolves — and how transparent its algorithms truly are. For now, it’s less a Wikipedia killer and more a philosophical experiment in whether machines can outthink human editors.

And as for Dogecoin? The timing feels too convenient to ignore. In the world of Elon Musk, every new product is part innovation, part spectacle — and Grokipedia might just be both.
