The online encyclopedia that Elon Musk launched last week isn’t so different from its chief rival, Wikipedia.
But there are noticeable deviations for entries such as climate change and affirmative action — not to mention the underlying processes that inform the two websites.
Musk’s encyclopedia — called Grokipedia — was developed by Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, and it relies on xAI’s chatbot Grok to write and curate the site’s nearly 900,000 entries.

Wikipedia, which has been online since 2001, relies on hundreds of thousands of human volunteers to write and maintain the site’s entries, which now number more than 7 million on its English language version.
