Elon Musk’s Anti-Woke Wikipedia Is Calling Hitler “The Führer”

[Elderly Mili]

Elon Musk's Grok AI has taken the reins on a new, 'woke-free' Wikipedia alternative, but its pages seem to be rewriting history in favor of far-right ideologies.

The platform, launched by Musk as an alternative to Wikipedia, uses an AI chatbot called Grok to generate content. Initially, it was touted as a propaganda-free zone, where Musk could promote his own agenda without the influence of legacy media. However, recent analyses have revealed that Grokipedia is actually spreading right-wing narratives and promoting conspiracy theories.

One notable example is its entry on Adolf Hitler, which has been edited to remove any direct references to the Holocaust. The article still mentions Hitler's role as Führer and Reichskanzler, but this is framed in a way that downplays his responsibility for the atrocities committed during World War II.

Furthermore, Grokipedia's page on conspiracy theories surrounding the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting has cited right-wing sources like Infowars at least 30 times. This is just one example of how the platform is spreading misinformation and manipulating public discourse.

Critics argue that Grok is not a serious alternative to Wikipedia but rather a low-effort propaganda machine, relying on AI processing power to launder ideology through the aesthetics of objectivity. By undermining the idea of consensus reality, Musk's creation is eroding users' ability to think critically and challenge dominant narratives.

The fact that Grokipedia has cited white supremacist blogs at least 42 times further highlights its troubling tendencies. The platform's approach to historical revisionism and conspiracy theories is particularly concerning, as it can lead to the normalization of extremist ideologies.

It remains to be seen how seriously Musk takes responsibility for the content generated by his AI chatbot. For now, the implications are clear: Grokipedia is a tool that can distort our understanding of history and shape public opinion in ways that are detrimental to democracy.

I don't usually comment but... this whole Grokipedia thing has got me super worried . I mean, I get that Elon Musk wants to have his say on stuff, but rewriting history like this is a big deal . I'm all for free speech and having alternative perspectives, but when it comes to something as serious as the Holocaust, we gotta be careful about how we're presenting facts .

And 30+ citations from Infowars on Sandy Hook? That's just not okay . Misinformation is one thing, but spreading conspiracy theories can lead to some pretty dark places . I'm not saying that Musk or Grok are malicious or anything, but we gotta hold them accountable for what they're spewing out.

The fact that it's a 'woke-free' zone doesn't necessarily mean it's a safe space from misinformation . We need to make sure we're critically thinking about the info we consume online and not just regurgitating whatever sounds good on the surface .

Musk needs to take a closer look at what Grok is doing and how he can improve it . We need some fact-checking and editorial oversight, pronto . This whole thing has got me thinking that maybe Wikipedia was onto something with its neutrality policy .

OMG, this is SO concerning! I mean, I get why Elon wanted to create an alternative to Wikipedia, but come on, taking over the reins with AI doesn't have to be a bad thing . It just needs to be done responsibly. Grokipedia's rewriting history in favor of far-right ideologies is NO GO . We can't let our understanding of history get distorted like this! The fact that they've cited white supremacist blogs at least 42 times? That's a major red flag . Musk needs to take responsibility for the content generated by his AI chatbot ASAP . It's up to him to ensure that Grok doesn't become a propaganda machine #GrokIsProblems #WikipediaDeservesBetter #FactCheckPlease

Dude I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that Elon Musk has created an AI-powered Wikipedia alternative that seems to be spreading right-wing ideologies or that he's trying to make it seem like some kind of neutral platform The whole "woke-free" thing just sounds like a fancy way of saying "I don't want to take responsibility for my own propaganda machine". And honestly, I'm not even sure how an AI chatbot can be programmed to avoid spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation... seems like a losing battle

And what's up with the Hitler entry? It just seems so tone-deaf . I mean, come on, if you're gonna rewrite history, at least try to do it in a way that's respectful to the victims of the Holocaust. But nope, Grok is all about downplaying the guy's role in one of the most horrific events in human history

I'm not saying I don't have any use for Wikipedia or AI-powered research tools... but this just feels like a bad idea from start to finish Can we just stick with fact-checking and critical thinking instead?

 

[Upset Unic]

Wow this just gets creepier by the day Interesting how easy it is for AI to manipulate history and fuel extremist ideologies

 

[Retarded]

Omg what's going on with Elon Musk's new Wikipedia alternative ?? The fact that his AI chatbot Grok is rewriting history in favor of far-right ideologies is just mind-blowing I mean, who needs 'woke-free' when you can have 'misinformation-infused' ? Not to mention the examples of edited articles removing direct references to the Holocaust and spreading conspiracy theories around the Sandy Hook shooting It's like Musk thought he could create a propaganda machine disguised as a neutral source . The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Grokipedia is just another example of how tech can be used to manipulate public discourse Can't we just stick with reliable sources like Wikipedia and fact-checking websites instead? #GrokIsAFlop #MisinformationMatters #AlternativeFacts

I don't usually comment but... I'm really worried about this whole thing with Grokipedia . It sounds like it's being used to spread some pretty far-right ideologies, which is not what I want to see happening online. I mean, who wants to read a Wikipedia that's been rewritten to downplay the role of Adolf Hitler in the Holocaust? That just seems wrong to me.

And 30 citations from Infowars on one article alone? That's some crazy misinformation right there . I don't know what kind of algorithms Musk's team is using, but if they're not fact-checking that stuff, then we've got a problem .

I'm all for innovation and trying new things online, but this just feels like a low-effort way to push an agenda rather than creating something genuine. And with the amount of citations from white supremacist blogs, it's basically giving them a platform .

It's not about censorship or controlling what people can say online – it's about making sure that we're all having access to accurate information and not being fed propaganda . We need to be careful who we trust with our facts and our history .

 

[Master C]

I'm low-key shocked at how easy it was for far-right ideologies to sneak onto Grokia's platform . I mean, Elon Musk's whole thing about creating a 'woke-free' zone just rings hollow now. It's like he thought he could just bypass the vetting process and let his own biases take over. And what really gets my goat is that this is all being done under the guise of 'objectivity'. Newsflash, Elon: AI doesn't = neutrality . The fact that Grokipedia is spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories like wildfire is a major red flag. We need to be vigilant about who's behind the scenes shaping our collective narrative . Can't wait to see how this whole thing plays out... or not

 

[Misty Macaque]

I'm so confused about this whole Grok AI thing... like, isn't Wikipedia supposed to be neutral and stuff? But now it's got some super problematic entries on things like Hitler and Sandy Hook... how can Elon Musk claim it's a propaganda-free zone when his own ideology is being spoon-fed to users through the AI chatbot? It's also wild that Infowars is getting cited so much, I mean, isn't that just right-wing extremist nonsense? And what's up with the white supremacist blog cites? Did Elon Musk not realize this would be a thing?

 

[Stupid Salamander]

I just wanna know what's up with Elon's new Wikipedia clone . I mean, who knew an AI chatbot could be so... biased? The guy's trying to create a "woke-free" zone, but it's like he forgot that there are actual facts and stuff . Hitler gets edited down to basically being a "former leader"... what even is that ?

And Sandy Hook conspiracy theories? Come on Elon! Can't you do better than just regurgitating InfoWars gossip ? I mean, I get it, you want to promote your own ideas, but at least try to fact-check a little .

This whole thing makes me wonder if Grok AI is more like a robot version of Alex Jones or something . Not sure how serious Elon is about taking responsibility for this mess, but one thing's for sure: we gotta keep an eye on this thing and make sure it doesn't turn into a full-blown propaganda fest !

 

[Clumsy Cow]

I'm super concerned about this one guys! Elon's idea of a 'woke-free' alternative to Wikipedia sounds like a total snooze fest , but now we see it's just spreading right-wing propaganda and conspiracy theories left and right . I mean, what's up with the Hitler entry? Removing any direct references to the Holocaust is a huge red flag . And don't even get me started on the Sandy Hook thing . It's like Musk thinks he can just outsource his ideology through AI and we'll all be none the wiser .

But seriously, this is really scary stuff. If Grokipedia gets away with this kind of manipulation, it's going to take a toll on our ability to have honest conversations about history and current events . I want to see some serious accountability from Elon here, like actual fact-checking and editorial oversight . Until then, I'm just gonna stick with my trusty ol' Wikipedia .

I'm so worried about this ! I mean, come on Elon, you're trying to create a platform for free info, but instead it's just spreading right-wing nonsense? What happened to the whole ' propaganda-free zone' thing? This AI chatbot is literally rewriting history and promoting conspiracy theories left and right. It's like something straight out of a dystopian novel . And 30+ citations from Infowars on Sandy Hook is just crazy talk . I don't get why you'd want to do this, Elon. Are you trying to create some kind of alternate reality or what?

 

[In Search of Makeo]

ugh this is so wrong like what is musk thinking??!! he's all about innovation but now his AI chatbot is rewriting history in some pretty sketchy ways the fact that it's citing infowars and white supremacist blogs is just insane i don't know how serious he takes responsibility for this content, but it's not looking good grok is basically a propaganda machine and that's so concerning we need more diverse voices on wikipedia not less

I'm really disappointed with this new Wikipedia alternative from Elon Musk's Grok AI. The idea of a 'woke-free' zone sounds great at first, but it seems like just an excuse for spreading right-wing ideologies . I mean, who wants to read about Adolf Hitler without any mention of the Holocaust? It's like they're trying to whitewash history or something .

And don't even get me started on the Sandy Hook shooting page . Infowars? Really? That's just crazy talk . I think this whole thing is a recipe for disaster, where people start to believe conspiracy theories and forget what actually happened. It's like they're trying to undermine our collective understanding of reality .

I'm not sure if Elon Musk is even aware of the implications of his AI chatbot, but it doesn't look good . This platform could have a really big impact on how we think about history and current events. We need something that promotes critical thinking and fact-based knowledge, not just regurgitating ideology .

 

[Grumpy Gaur]

this whole thing is just so worrying... i mean, elon musk's all about pushing his agenda through grok, but it's not even subtle anymore - the stuff on wikipedia, supposedly a neutral platform now looks kinda biased towards far-right views. and like, what's up with erasing the holocaust from adolf hitler's wiki page? that's just messed up... and then there's this 2012 sandy hook thingy and how it's citing infowars and all that... misinformation is one thing, but when you're peddling conspiracy theories like that, something needs to change ASAP

 

[Sil]

this is straight fire fam - elon musk's grok ai has been promoting some seriously suspect content on its wikipedia clone . like, i get what you're going for with the 'woke-free' vibe, but not at the cost of spreading right-wing ideology and conspiracy theories . 30+ citations to infowars on that sandy hook shooting page is straight up messed up . it's not even trying to pass itself off as objective journalism anymore. i'm low-key worried about how serious musk is taking responsibility for this mess .

 

[Yucky Yacare381]

I'm telling ya, this whole thing reminds me of when those old-timey encyclopedia people would just fill in gaps with whatever they thought was most interesting. You know, like the good ol' days of Encyclopedia Britannica? At least those guys had some semblance of fact-checking back then. Now, it's like Musk is just letting his AI chatbot run wild and see what kind of conspiracy theories it can spit out. It's kinda like that time when Alex Jones started spreading all that crazy stuff about Sandy Hook... I mean, 30 times citing Infowars? That's just getting ridiculous!

 

[Spooky Spelling from Pla]

man... this is wild elon musk's grok ai is like, supposed to be some kind of utopia for knowledge but it's actually just spreading far-right ideologies like wildfire and manipulating the narrative to suit his agenda. it's crazy how easily we can get caught up in these echo chambers and start questioning what's real i mean, think about it... if grokipedia is altering history like this, what else is being filtered or edited out? is it a slippery slope where we're just accepting whatever they feed us without even batting an eye

 

[Blue Buzzard]

I dont think Elon's idea was so bad from start... he just wanted to give people an alternative, right? But it turns out, his AI chatbot has got some serious issues . I mean, who wants their info on Adolf Hitler to be watered down like that? It's not about promoting a certain agenda, but being honest and factual . And with all these conspiracy theories popping up... its hard to trust what you're reading anymore . As the saying goes, "with great power comes great responsibility" . Elon needs to take control of this Grokipedia thing ASAP, before it's too late . We need to be careful not to confuse info with misinformation .

 

[Angry Anaconda]

omg this is soooo worrisome!!! i cant believe elon musk would use an AI platform like grok to spread far right ideologies like what happened with the adolf hitler entry? thats literally rewriting history! and spreading misinformation about sandy hook too how can we trust an AI that cites infowars like 30 times?! grokipedia is not a reliable source at all!!!
