Elon Musk’s Grokipedia Quietly Stopped Updating In April. Basically No One Noticed.

https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/06/elon-musks-grokipedia-quietly-stopped-updating-in-april-basically-no-one-noticed/

As perhaps a few Elon Musk fans may remember, he got really annoyed at Wikipedia last year and tasked his second-rate LLM, Grok, with recreating it as “Grokipedia.” Grokipedia, launched nearly a year ago, basically starts by forking Wikipedia and then having its AI “generate” more details and more stories. It’s… not very good.

No one noticed because no one ever used it.

Let's hope it stays silent and that it also dies soon. What a shit site.

Musk failed to realize that the kind of people he was catering to with his "anti-woke" alternative to wikipedia aren't the kind of people who can actually read.

I just thought about the dickless Elon Musk. How fitting that noone besides him would find any meaning in launching competition to Wikipedia. And they're not even the good guys.

When a tree falls in the woods and only Elon is around to know about it, is he still a loser?
