Musk has described the project in political terms, attacking Wikipedia as “ woke ” and criticizing it for citing news outlets such as The New York Times and NPR as sources in many of its articles.

Elon Musk has launched a new online encyclopaedia called Grokipedia, which he says will challenge Wikipedia, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Grokipedia, which briefly crashed after its launch Monday afternoon, tallied more than 800,000 A.I.-generated encyclopedia entries, compared with Wikipedia’s nearly eight million human-written ones.
