Elon Musk's version of Wikipedia is 'cribbing' information from the real one: report

Elon Musk's Grokipedia, developed by his company xAI, went live on Monday after months of MAGA railing against the popular internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia. But a new report points out that Musk's version of Wikipedia appears to be "cribbing" information from the original version.

Musk promised to launch a more conservative version of Wikipedia after saying Wikipedia was "woke" because it cited articles from The New York Times and NPR. The new version, which runs on a large language model, still cites from these sources, but has changed the framing of some prominent events in U.S. history, such as the January 6 insurrection and President Donald Trump's election loss in 2020.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board ripped a pair of Trump administration officials in a new editorial on Monday over their efforts to kill a drug that treats melanoma.

He pointed out that China, which used to be the top buyer of American soybeans, now buys most of its soybeans elsewhere due to Trump's tariffs.
