🚨 Rewriting Reality: Elon Musk’s AI Is About to Reset Human Knowledge

And why that should both fascinate and frighten us.

🧠 “I’m going to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge.”

That’s not the opening line of a sci-fi movie—it’s Elon Musk’s latest declaration regarding Grok, the AI chatbot created by his company, xAI. This week, Musk revealed plans to overhaul Grok's training data to eliminate what he calls “hallucinated facts” and “political correctness.” In his words: “We’re going to build a better reality.”

Musk believes much of that knowledge is “corrupted,” and he’s building Grok 4 to correct it by starting from scratch.
