First he went after bias at Twitter, by purchasing the company, and now Elon Musk is taking on the online behemoth Wikipedia, long known as a leftist yet influential source of information online.
Musk recently announced he has birthed Grokipedia, an AI-powered encyclopedia that won't be influenced or burdened by human gatekeepers like those of the 24-year-old Wikipedia.
Writing on X, Musk, who has criticized Wikipedia as "propaganda," said that Grokipedia.com's goal is to present the "truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI launched Grokipedia Oct. 27.
For years, conservatives have written about the negative light with which Wikipedia portrays the movement's leaders, organization and websites. Though volunteer "editors" are to have the ability to correct bogus information, there are countless stories about corrections meant to counter left-wing bias on Wikipedia immediately being deleted or deemphasized.
WND and Washington Times columnist Robert Knight recently wrote about his experience with Wikipedia.
Woke editors routinely mischaracterize conservatives and conservative viewpoints, highlight fake science that advances climate extremism and sexual anarchy, and they even block other editors from cleaning up errors.
I know, because I registered as a Wikipedia editor years ago and tried to correct some glaring factual mistakes for a conservative think tank. …
Heavy handed editors kept overriding my corrections, saying I needed to jump through a series of hoops, including appeals to some committee. It got so tedious I gave up. Which is what they undoubtedly wanted.
While Grokipedia currently has about 900,000 articles, compared to Wikipedia's 8 million, according to Ara, the site's avatar, Grokipedia hopes to reach that many in the next "two or three years, tops."
WorldNetDaily has endured a biased and factually inaccurate listing at Wikipedia for decades now. The site's entry states:
"WND (formerly WorldNetDaily) is an American far-right news and opinion website. It is known for promoting fake news and conspiracy theories, including the false claim that former President Barack Obama was born outside the United States. … WND's political lean has been described as alt-right and far-right. WND is known for promoting fake news and conspiracy theories, including the white genocide conspiracy theory. … The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) labels WND an anti-government extremist group."
In contrast, Grokipedia has this to say about the news site:
"WorldNetDaily (WND) is an independent American online news and opinion website founded in May 1997 by Joseph Farah and Elizabeth Farah. Positioning itself as the oldest continuously operating independent Christian digital journalism organization, WND operates under the motto 'A Free Press for a Free People,' emphasizing its role as a watchdog exposing corruption in government and other power structures while advocating for virtue rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, limited government, and free-market capitalism."
Last year, WND Vice President David Kupelian contrasted the Wikipedia entry for this news site with that of the Satanic Temple:
In stark contrast to the supposed evils and failings of WorldNetDaily, The Satanic Temple is all sweetness and light, according to Wikipedia. Here's how that article starts:
"The Satanic Temple (TST) is a non-theistic organization and new religious movement, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Salem, Massachusetts. … The group views Satan neither as a supernatural being, nor a symbol of evil, but instead relies on the literary Satan as a symbol representing 'the eternal rebel' against arbitrary authority and social norms, or as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity. … The organization's mission encourages 'benevolence and empathy' among all people, using Satanic imagery to promote civil rights, egalitarianism, religious skepticism, social justice, bodily integrity, secularism, and the separation of church and state."
Wow. Who could be against "benevolence," "empathy" and "personal autonomy"? Sign me up!
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said during a commentary on Musk's new site: "Grokipedia will do to Wikipedia what X did to Twitter," a reference to Musk's purchase and overhaul of the social media site – "expunge the bias and the lies."
Left-wing media were quick to denounce Grokipedia, with claims the site pushes "far right talking points" in line with Musk's ideology. There also are claims that Grokipedia has swiped thousands of Wikipedia entries for its own.
The Daily Dot reports some suggest that Grokipedia only features "biased, right-wing content." A user points to Grokipedia's page on ICE, which praises the federal agency's removal of illegal immigrants and cites right-leaning sources.
Many Musk detractors have looked up certain subjects and sounded an alarm about those entries' alleged "bias."
A writer in Chron asserts, "Grokipedia begins to look like a fun-house mirror version of Wikipedia.
"Pages on vaccines and climate change have been modified to include anti-vaccine and pro-fossil fuel arguments and sources. 'Transgender' repeatedly refers to transgender women as men, uses the phrase "transgenderism" (a phrase Wikipedia notes is considered derogatory), and claims that a 'social contagion' is causing people to become trans."
One X user, however, pointed out how much more nuanced the Grokipedia entry on George Floyd is:
Knight points out: "Larry Sanger, who with Jimmy Wales co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 and left a year later, has been outspoken about the search engine's unfairness, saying 'It's hopelessly biased.'
"In his 'Nine Theses' online manifesto about Wikipedia, he writes, 'Progressive activists and editors within the Democratic-Left form a de facto army that controls Wikipedia, systematically deleting criticism and reasonable, sourced edits.' …"
Knight believes the advent of Grokipedia "couldn't have come a moment too soon."

President Donald Trump is warning that Democrats will "take down the country" in their opposition to his Make America Great Again agenda, which includes renewing its economy, protecting its borders and eliminating corruption.
Because they're "kamikazes."
He said, "I think they're kamikaze pilots. I just got back from Japan, I talked about the kamikaze pilots. I think these guys are kamikaze. They'll take down the country if they have to."
There was social media support, with a commenter posting, "He's right. Democrats continue to try to destroy America. It's sad."
But from leftists came a torrent of venom, accusing him of "projecting."
One was, "Maybe Pikachu next week" and another, "Every accusation is an admission." Dozens of epithets followed, along with praise for current Democrat party leaders. One intoned, fantastically, "As I listened to Gavin Newsom speech last night the man speak (sic) with such grandeur and his enunciation was just meticulous. Even an unborn baby would salivate over his words."
It turned worse, with name-calling and gratuitous insults, following years of leftists and media voices calling him "Hitler" and his supporters "Nazis."
Such rage rhetoric actually has reached the point where a Montana city council called to threaten a sitting member of Congress and a Democrat attorney general candidate Virginia openly speculated about murdering Republicans and their children, and voters chose him anyway.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who was the second-in-command to George W. Bush after 9/11 and largely is considered the architect of America's then "war-on-terror" but probably more famous now for having a daughter, ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, who turned on a Republican president and worked with Democrats to undermine a duly elected president, has died.
His family announced his passing on Tuesday.
"Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed," the family told Fox News.
"The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming's Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States. Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing. We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man."
A divisive figure after 9/11, online commenters blamed him for the war in Iraq seeking Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction" in which thousands of Americans, and thousands of Iraqis, perished.
There were offensive memes announcing his death, to the accompaniment of fireworks.
But referencing the left's celebrations of the assassination a month ago of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, one said, "I don't have anything nice to say about Dick Cheney, so I'll leave it at condolences to his family. See, Libs, that's how you do it."
He had a long history of cardiac issues, including five heart attacks. He received a lung transplant in 2021.
Fox explained, "In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, he never expressed doubt about his support for indefinite detention for alleged terrorist prisoners or even about waterboarding." In fact, he said, in 2008, "I feel very good about what we did. If I was faced with those circumstances again, I'd do exactly the same thing."
He also worked in the oil industry.
Cheney was born Jan. 30, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska, and grew up in Casper, Wyoming.
His daughter, Liz Cheney, like her father representing Wyoming in Congress before voters abruptly removed her, joined with Democrats, specifically Rep. Nancy Pelosi's partisan commission assigned to investigate the J6 events in Washington, against President Donald Trump. That group orchestrated information about that day in order to try to make Trump look responsible.

A foster cat being care for by a Merced, California, family decided to express her gratitude: By adding some spice to the family's soup cooking on the stove.
A report at Fox26, KMPH-TV, explained the owner was "out feeding the dogs, when Wendy (the cat) snuck into the kitchen and decided to contribute her own meat to the soup pot."
A mouse.
"Her mom only discovered the feline's culinary surprise after reviewing the footage when she found Wendy sitting on the floor, continuously crying and staring at the pot," the report said.
While there were comments claiming it was staged by AI, others pointed out that commenter hadn't interacted much with cats.
Further, a report from Not the Bee noted that other such videos have appeared in recent weeks.
The report said Wendy is a foster cat from SPCA Merced, and the organization shared the stills online.
"The family said it was takeout for dinner that night," the report said.

The leftists holding state power in Colorado are making it abundantly clear: They want their favorite leftist judges to be running the United States, not the duly elected president.
The proof comes in the fact they have sued the Trump administration 41 times already.
Their latest agenda is to keep the financial benefits of the nation's Space Command headquarters within their borders.
Courthousenews explains the newest fight:
"The state of Colorado and its attorney general Phil Weiser challenged President Donald Trump's decision to move the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, in a Wednesday lawsuit."
Weiser, an ardent Democrat, insists, "The Constitution does not permit the executive to punish or retaliate against states for lawfully exercising sovereign powers reserved for the states, as President Trump and the executive branch have unlawfully done here."
He opposes Trump's executive order to move the base, according to the report, "in retaliation for Colorado's robust vote by mail program — an executive action Colorado says violates the state's sovereignty."
Weiser even warns that Trump can "influence" Colorado's election, "then the executive branch can seize other powers not delegated by the Constitution."
The federal government, in fact, does "set some standards for voting systems, including standards for their functionality and their accessibility to individuals with disabilities, older individuals, and members of language minority groups," according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. And the president is commander of the nation's military.
Further, the federal government's Election Assistance Commission, created under federal law, establishes guidelines for systems used in states.
The Space Command has called Colorado Springs home since Trump created it in 2019, and Joe Biden made Peterson Space Force Base the formal home.
But Trump said Colorado elections, mandated by Democrats in the state to be by mail-in ballots, a system that allows for corruption more easily than some other options, are a concern.
"They went to all mail-in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections, and we can't have that. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections because that's what that means," Trump confirmed.
The report said Colorado already has "filed and joined" 41 lawsuits against Trump.
Other topics include the disputed practice, under "birthright citizenship," of giving tourist babies and children born to illegal alien criminals American citizenship.
Also Colorado has attacked Trump over National Institutes of Health funding for research, an attempt to block the Department of Government Efficiency from even using the Treasury's central payment system, an attempt to block a freeze on federal cash handouts, disputes over Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rules, and more.

As President Donald Trump endures ongoing public rage over his demolition of the White House East Wing and plans to erect a huge ballroom in its place, it turns out that a major expansion of the executive mansion has been in the minds of engineers and architects going back to the 19th century.
According to the White House Historical Association, in the mid-1800s concerns arose that the Washington City Canal nearby could affect the president's health.
"In the summer the stench, insects, and miasmic heat and humidity from stagnant marshes in the environs of the White House was intolerable and considered to be a cause of fevers and waterborne illness," notes the WHHA.
The solution was to look for land to build a new presidential residence and use the White House for only ceremonial purposes – a plan that never came to fruition due to a lack of funding from Congress.
In 1889, first lady Caroline Harrison began to develop ideas for an ambitious White House project to mark the anniversary of the building. She thought the White House needed more space, especially for dining and receptions. Again, Congress balked, and the expansion did not take place.
The centennial of the first resident moving into the White House, President John Adams, was held in 1900, and part of the celebration included the presentation of a model for expansion, developed by Army engineer Col. Theodore Bingham.
The White House Historical Association notes: "The model revealed plans to replace the crowded working spaces with new offices, public and entertaining spaces and press rooms by constructing massive, flanking two-story cylindrical wings with domes and lanterns patterned after those at the Library of Congress. Bingham set up his model in the East Room and, after the president viewed the display and greeted the guests, rose to present a history of the White House that evolved into a sales pitch for the expansion. Roundly criticized by the architectural profession, the project stalled, and after President McKinley's assassination awaited a new chief executive's decision."
A newspaper account in 1901 relayed, "The plans provide for two buildings, one to be erected on the east and another on the west, each of these being about the same size as the present mansion and connected with it by curved wings."
The plan was significantly downsized and turned into what was known as the Roosevelt Restoration. It included living-quarter renovations and the addition of space to the east for the president and his staff.
The more ambitious plans of Col. Bingham were not realized, nor were Mrs. Harrison's desire for a larger place for dining – something certainly fulfilled in President Trump's plan for a room large enough to seat 999 guests for dinner, as opposed to a few dozen in the current East Room.

The state of Texas is suing the makers of Tylenol for withholding information the drug maker had about the product's possible links to autism, links that long had been known by the company.
President Donald Trump earlier advised pregnant women not to take Tylenol because of the possible side effect – autism for the new child.
And Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been working on the problem.
Now a report from USA today confirmed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the legal action against Kenvue, which makes the over-the-counter painkiller.
The claim is that the company failed to warn consumers about the risks involved when a pregnant woman takes the drug.
Paxton, in a statement, suggested the makers were "deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers despite knowing that early exposure to acetaminophen, Tylenol's only active ingredient, leads to a significantly increased risk of autism and other disorders."
He charged, "These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets. Additionally, seeing that the day of reckoning was coming, Johnson & Johnson attempted to escape responsibility by illegally offloading their liability onto a different company. By holding Big Pharma accountable for poisoning our people, we will help Make America Healthy Again"
According to a report at Courthousenews, the lawsuit comes just a month after the Trump administration linked autism to mothers taking Tylenol, which uses acetaminophen as its active ingredient.
The Paxton complaint was filed in Panola County district court.
"The state claims scientific evidence shows use of Tylenol during pregnancy and in early childhood can cause conditions like autism and ADHD and that Kenvue and Johnson & Johnson knowingly covered up the risks," the report said.

A sitting Democrat senator has threatened "legal jeopardy" for members of the U.S. Armed Forces being dispatched by President Donald Trump to fight the drug war for Americans.
The comments come from Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, who was interviewed this weekend about the president's efforts to eliminate the flood of illegal and deadly drugs being smuggled into the United States by cartels intent on making money and allowing Americans to die in the process.
That program has included strikes on boats carrying thousands of pounds of deadly drugs to America. The drugs sometimes have been confiscated, other times destroyed. A number of the smugglers have died in the strikes.
"Is Kelly, a veteran who served as a Navy pilot in the Gulf War and as a NASA astronaut, trying to encourage mutiny within the ranks to get service members to refuse orders for fear of prosecution by a future Democrat administration?" wondered the Gateway Pundit.
He was asked, "I want to talk about Venezuela. The Pentagon is now sending a carrier strike group. You know the massive amount of firepower on a carrier strike group. What is your take on what is happening with these suspected drug boats. Is it legal?"
The senator charged, "It's questionable. And the White House and the Department of Defense could not give us a logical explanation on how this is legal. They were tying themselves in knots trying to explain this. We had a lot of questions for them, both Democrats and Republicans. It was not a good meeting. It did not go well. They have a secret list of 20 something — 24 organizations that they have now authorized to use — use kinetic action against without the normal approach that we have for law enforcement. Hey, we don't want drugs in this country, especially fentanyl. But all these drugs, we — we should be working really hard to interdict them and prosecute the individuals that are smuggling drugs, not putting young service members at great, legal jeopardy."
It was the other Democrat senator from Arizona, Ruben Gallego, who went even further, claiming defending Americans from lethal and criminal drug cartels is "murder."
"It's very dangerous what he's doing…to these men and women who have to make these calls for a president who has zero understanding about the responsibility someone has when it comes to having to make life and death decisions," he said.
He charged, "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder … it's disgusting."
The Gateway Pundit pointed out that the Democrats were corrected by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who "served as an Air Force JAG officer for over three decades (active duty, Guard and Reserves) including wartime service in Iraq and Afghanistan."
He said, "Our military is doing exactly what they should: Following lawful orders to protect Americans from narco-terrorists who seek to wreak havoc on our communities."
Under Barack Obama's tenure in the White House, he ordered a long list of drone strikes on targets he chose, killing hundreds. That death toll actually included Americans.

President Donald Trump Wednesday announced new sanctions against Russian oil companies as retaliation for President Putin's refusal to end the war with Ukraine or agree to a ceasefire.
Posted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire. Given President Putin's refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia's two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin's war machine. Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump's effort to end yet another war. We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions."
Trump has been increasingly frustrated with Russia's intransigence as he has tried to broker an end to the bloody war. After announcing last week that a meeting with Putin was being planned for Budapest, Hungary, Tuesday Trump said the meeting was off.
A press release from the Treasury Department noted the U.S. was imposing sanctions "as a result of Russia's lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine. …
"Treasury will continue to use its authority in support of a peace process."
In the Oval Office, President Trump made further remarks about the sanctions:

In a Monday interview with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., agreed that President Trump is implementing certain policies the senator has advocated for years but that the Democratic Party opposes.
Stewart confronted Sanders, a democratic socialist who caucuses with Senate Democrats, about Trump's policies, saying, "He is the most socialist president of my lifetime."
Continued Stewart: "Taking a percentage of companies to do business in the U.S. That's a Bernie Sanders idea!" He also mentioned the new government-based TrumpRx drug plan.
Sanders seemed to agree but then immediately brought up Trump actions with which he disagrees, like "throwing 15 million people off their health care."
President Trump posted part of the interview on his Truth Social account Tuesday.
