Elon Musk's Grokipedia, a rival to Wikipedia, had a turbulent debut, briefly crashing after launch. The site, 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, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has disputed Musk's claims, calling them "factually incorrect." The launch has been marred by controversy over the source of its content, with some entries being nearly identical to those on Wikipedia, as reported by The Verge.
