Musk Plans 'Encyclopedia Galactica' Rebrand for Grokipedia, Proposes Lunar and Martian Archives

Key technical and editorial details remain unspecified despite promises of an Asimov‑inspired, open‑source knowledge archive.

Overview

  • Musk says the rebrand will occur “when Grokipedia is good enough,” describing it as an open‑source distillation of all knowledge including audio, images and video.
  • He proposed physical copies etched in durable material to be sent to the Moon, Mars and beyond, declaring, “This time, it will not be lost.”
  • Grokipedia launched in October 2025 as an AI‑generated encyclopedia built by xAI’s Grok and now lists hundreds of thousands of entries.
  • He positions the platform as a more neutral alternative to Wikipedia, while it currently operates as a centralized system without direct public editing.
  • Coverage highlights unanswered questions about preservation and updating methods across planets, alongside earlier reports of factual errors and ideological slant.
