Elon Musk's Grokipedia called out for unreliable sources
Elon Musk's Grokipedia, meant to rival Wikipedia, is catching heat for how it handles information.
A Cornell Tech study found that Grokipedia often uses "questionable" sources—especially on political topics—and has even cited sites like InfoWars, which are known for spreading false claims.
Study finds Grokipedia much looser than Wikipedia
Researchers say Grokipedia is over three times more likely to use unreliable sources and 13 times more likely to include blacklisted ones compared to Wikipedia.
While Musk plans a rebrand as "Encyclopedia Galactica," xAI brushed off the criticism with just: "Legacy Media Lies."
Meanwhile, Selena Deckelmann, chief product and technology officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, defended their stricter editorial process and community oversight, highlighting why trust in online info really matters.
