In December 2024, Musk called for a boycott of donations to Wikipedia over its perceived left-wing bias, calling it "Wokepedia".[15]In January 2025, Musk made a series of statements on X denouncing Wikipedia for its description of the incident where he made a controversial gesture at president Donald Trump's second inauguration.[15] Musk has since positioned Grokipedia as an alternative to Wikipedia that would "purge out the propaganda" in the latter.[16]

A spokesperson for the Wikimedia Foundation commented that "Wikipedia's knowledge is – and always will be – human. [...] This human-created knowledge is what AI companies rely on to generate content; even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist."[28][29]

Larry Sanger, co-founder and noted critic of Wikipedia, responded to the launch of Grokipedia saying, "The jury's still out as to whether it's actually better than Wikipedia. But at this point I would have to say 'maybe!'"[50] Sanger also noted that while the Grokipedia article on himself offered correct and interesting content not found in the corresponding Wikipedia article, it also contained errors, including hallucinated statements about Sanger that he said he did "not recognize as applying in any way to myself".[51] Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales commented that the use of large language models would cause Grokipedia to contain "massive errors".[52]
