Entries in Grokipedia are created and edited by the Grok large language model (LLM). Many articles are derived from Wikipedia, with some copied nearly verbatim at launch. Articles cannot be directly edited, though logged-in visitors to the encyclopedia can suggest edits via a pop-up form for reporting wrong information. As of November 8, 2025, the site states that it has over 800,000 articles.

In 2021, Musk expressed affection for Wikipedia on its 20th anniversary. In 2022, however, Musk argued that Wikipedia was "losing its objectivity", and in 2023, said he would donate a billion dollars to the project if it was pejoratively renamed "Dickipedia".

1 billion? Can we change the name back after a week and keep the money?

If Musk's past behaviour is anything to go by, he wouldn't pay up.
