Part 5/11:
On September 30, 2025, Elon Musk made a provocative announcement—Grokipedia. During a post on X (formerly Twitter), he boldly declared plans for an AI-powered encyclopedia that would surpass Wikipedia in accuracy, neutrality, and timeliness. He framed Grokipedia as a vital step toward XAI's overarching mission "to understand the universe," asserting that it would fundamentally change how we understand and share knowledge.
Musk’s timelines are aggressive. Just days after his announcement, he indicated that an early beta, version 0.1, would launch by mid-October 2025. As of the writing of this article, we’re within that window, eagerly awaiting the initial prototypes.
