00:00XAI's Grokipedia is apparently racist and transphobic.

00:04Elon Musk just launched Grokipedia, his XAI-built, world-changing, online encyclopedia.

00:11Elon Musk calls it an antidote to woke bias, promising the whole truth over Wikipedia.

00:16But depending on who's reading, that truth might look suspiciously like propaganda in

00:21Tech Bro cosplay.

00:23At first glance, Grokipedia mimics Wikipedia, a simpler twin with similar layout, headings

00:27and sources.

00:28The twist?

00:30Each article is fact-checked by Elon Musk's chatbot Grok, whatever that means.

00:35The site boasts a whopping 885,279 entries, yet how they got there remains a mystery.

00:43Then the tone shifts.

00:44Science on vaccines, climate and COVID gives way to alternative views.

00:48Wikipedia says vaccines are safe.

00:50Grokipedia hedges that it's an ongoing hypothesis.

00:54Wikipedia describes climate change as driven by humans.

00:57Grokipedia blames the media for public alarm.

01:01On social topics, Grokipedia turns nasty, calling transgender identity transgenderism.

01:07Chelsea Manning is deadnamed, and the race and intelligence page promotes debunked race science

01:13from fringe sources.

01:15Even the January 6th attack is whitewashed.

01:17Rioters become mostly unarmed citizens with legitimate concerns.

01:22Elon Musk gets the royal treatment.

01:25His Grokipedia bio glosses over his family's emerald wealth and skips his grandfather's pro-apartheid

01:31ties.

01:32His company page is read like PR.

01:34SpaceX is spotless, Cybertruck recalls vanish, and Optimus the robot is hailed with near-religious

01:39zeal.

01:40Looking for Doge?

01:42Forget Elon Musk's old agency.

01:44Grokipedia takes you straight to the Shiba Inu meme instead.
