He describes Grokipedia as &#8220;a necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe.&#8221; Musk and his allies have long argued that Wikipedia is biased, a claim that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/news\/wikipedia-founder-responds-to-elon-musk-wokepedia\" data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:dismissed as;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">dismissed as factually incorrect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">According to Musk, the launch of Grokipedia was delayed to allow for further work in <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1980340232194257090\" data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:removing propaganda;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">removing propaganda<\/a> from the platform.
