- •He called it a monument to truth fit to be etched in stone and preserved in space.

Elon Musk tried to build Grokipedia in October 2025 as the ‘definitive monument to human knowledge’ with 800,000 AI-written articles locked tight. It promised truths so pure they could be 'etched in stone' and 'preserved in space,' according to Musk’s fine taste in Twitter announcements. Instead, it launched as a clunky mix of racist, transphobic entries with an awkward gloss of praise for Musk himself, plus surprise Wikipedia clones. Fast forward to December 2025, the keys were handed out, the edit gates unlocked, and the site turned into a hot mess where anyone can now contribute—delivering a glorified human chaos experiment in digital knowledge.
