Elon Musk's Grokipedia, a rival to Wikipedia, has launched after a brief crash. The website, which claims to have over 885,000 articles, aims to be "a massive improvement over Wikipedia" and a "necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe," according to Musk.
However, the launch has been marred by controversy, with some entries being nearly identical to their Wikipedia counterparts, sparking accusations of copying content.
Musk has consistently criticized Wikipedia for alleged bias, while Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has called Musk's claims "factually incorrect."
