Musk created Grokipedia to counter bias, but it's full of antisemitic and racist dog-whistles

JL;DR SUMMARY Elon Musk's newly launched Grokipedia, intended as an alternative to Wikipedia, has attracted criticism for featuring biased content and controversial framing, particularly in its treatment of figures like Adolf Hitler. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

Places mentioned

Berlin, Germany
"Grokipedia tells a different story. When Grokipedia launched on Monday, its entry on Adolf Hitler did not mention the Holocaust or Jews in the opening paragraph, simply calling Hitler an Austrian-born German politician who seized control of the German government through legal means and subsequent purges."
Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
"entry on apartheid Musk is South African describes it as an era of robust economic growth for South Africa, only later noting that the rising economic tide included stark disparities between Black and white citizens."
Jerusalem, Israel
"blames Arab leaders for causing the majority of the violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the citation for this statement leads to an article that is in fact critiquing that idea."
