If you haven’t heard of Grokipedia, you’re not alone. In fact, it’s not even available yet. The Wikipedia alternative, dreamed up by Elon Musk and developed by his xAI team, was supposed to launch in beta by now. But just days before the expected rollout, Musk slammed the brakes. His reason? The AI-generated platform still contains “too much legacy propaganda,” according to a recent post on X.

Here’s everything we know about Grokipedia, why it’s controversial before it’s even live, and what it could mean for the future of how we find facts online.
