Elon Musk's Grokipedia, a rival to Wikipedia, had a turbulent debut, briefly crashing after launch.
The website, which contains over 885,000 articles, aims to be "a massive improvement over Wikipedia" and a "necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe," according to Musk.
Musk has consistently criticized Wikipedia for alleged bias, while Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales calls Musk's claims "factually incorrect."
The launch has been marred by controversy over the provenance of its content, with some Grokipedia entries being nearly identical to their Wikipedia counterparts.
