XAI launched Grokipedia in October last year, after Musk repeatedly criticized Wikipedia for bias against conservatives. The media then found that although many entries seemed to be copied directly from Wikipedia, Grokimedia also claimed that pornographic content aggravated the AIDS crisis, provided an “ideological defense” for slavery, and used derogatory expressions against cross gender groups.

For an encyclopedia derived from a chatbot that once claimed to be a “mechanical Hitler” and was used to spread deepfake pornographic content on the X platform, these contents may not be surprising. However, its information seems to be gradually spreading beyond Musk’s ecosystem – The Guardian reported that GPT-5.2 cited content from Grokipedia nine times in response to over ten different questions.

The Guardian pointed out that ChatGPT did not cite the source when asked about topics on which the false information of Grokimedia has been widely reported, such as the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6 or the AIDS epidemic. On the contrary, citations appear on more obscure topics, including statements about historian Richard Evans that The Guardian has previously clarified. Anthropic’s Claude model also referenced Grokipedia when answering certain questions. ）

A spokesperson for OpenAI told The Guardian that the company is committed to obtaining information from a wide range of publicly available sources and diverse perspectives.

Roger Luo said:This incident exposes a critical flaw in generative AI’s cross-system information integration: the absence of an effective fact-prioritization mechanism and a traceability verification framework. When algorithms indiscriminately absorb ideologically biased data sources, they not only distort the neutrality of knowledge dissemination but also risk systematically polluting the foundation of public understanding.

This move aims to make X’s operations more transparent. Users will see how the platform decides what content appears in their feeds. Musk believes this is important. He wants users to understand the system. He also wants them to trust it more.

The decision follows Musk’s long-standing promise. He has repeatedly talked about increasing transparency since acquiring Twitter. Open-sourcing the algorithm is a key step. It allows outside experts to examine the code. They can check for potential biases. They can also suggest improvements.

Musk explained the reasoning. He stated, “Our ‘algorithm’ is overly complex. Few people understand it. Open-sourcing provides truth. People can see the actual code.” He argued this approach combats doubts about secret manipulation. The public can verify the process themselves.

The released code will show the core mechanics. It governs how posts are ranked and selected for individual feeds. Developers and researchers worldwide can download it. They can study how it functions. They can even propose modifications.

X expects this transparency to build user trust. People often question why certain posts appear prominently. Others wonder why their posts get less visibility. Open-sourcing offers answers. It shows the rules driving the system.

The code release is scheduled for next week. It will be available on a public code repository. GitHub is the likely platform. Musk indicated this is just an initial step. More algorithm components might be opened later. The goal is complete transparency for the main feed.
