Just when you thought Elon Musk couldn’t get any more chaotic, he opens his intergalactic mouth and says—no, tweets—that Grok 3.5 (or 4, or whatever number he’s feeling that day) will “rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge.” Not update it. Not improve it. Rewrite it. With “advanced reasoning,” which in Muskland apparently means Reddit-level takes with a C+ in philosophy.
He also wants to delete the errors. How? By defining “errors” as anything that contradicts Elon’s vibe. Think of it like Wikipedia, if Wikipedia were curated by a billionaire with a God complex, a crypto addiction, and the emotional intelligence of a Tesla bumper.
The plan is simple, stupid, and terrifying: feed Grok all of humanity’s accumulated knowledge, let it “fix” the facts by inserting Musk-approved truths, delete everything it doesn’t like (say goodbye to empathy, nuance, or labor unions), and then retrain the model on this new, purified scripture. It’s like if the Library of Alexandria was burned down and rebuilt by Joe Rogan and a can of Monster Energy.
Musk calls the current foundation models “garbage” because they’re trained on uncorrected data. In his mind, a “corrected” model would remove pesky things like climate change, systemic racism, or the idea that apartheid was bad. After all, when your dad owned an emerald mine and your emotional support animal is a rocket, reality starts to feel negotiable.
Let’s be real: Grok is not going to fix knowledge. Grok is a chatbot with a superiority complex, trained mostly on memes, Musk’s own tweets, and whatever was left in the fridge at X HQ. It’s Clippy with delusions of grandeur and an NDA from Peter Thiel.
This isn’t about AI advancement. It’s about digital colonialism. Musk wants to terraform truth. He wants to take the messiness of human history and run it through a Neuralink-powered word blender until all that’s left is “Musk good, unions bad, Mars inevitable.”
And what does “missing information” mean anyway? Are we talking lost scrolls or just stuff he wishes were true? Will Grok invent new ancient civilizations that were big on Dogecoin? Will it insert Elon into the moon landing? “One small step for man, one giant leap because of me, Elon Musk.”
You know what actually contains uncorrected, biased, incomplete, and often just plain stupid data? Elon Musk’s brain. If we’re purging things with bad source material, maybe we should start there. He thinks he invented tunnels, Twitter, and time itself. Next up: claiming he ghostwrote the Bible and gave Plato his first startup loan.
Rewriting the corpus of human knowledge isn’t innovation. It’s what dystopias do right before the sequel. This is Fahrenheit 451: Now With More NFTs. Orwell warned us. Musk just added a laugh track and a Doge sticker.
Even the phrasing—“retrain on that”—makes it sound like humanity is an AI intern that keeps disappointing its billionaire boss. “Sorry, humanity, you’ve been trained on feelings and nuance. Let’s fix that by running you through Grok 4: The Sanitized Edition.”
The terrifying part isn’t even that he wants to do it—it’s that no one stopped to say, “Wait, is this man okay?” Everyone just nods because he launched a car into space once and names his kids after nuclear launch codes. We’re letting a guy who buys social networks like impulse gum packages rewrite history like he’s Clio with a Blue Check.
And of course, Grok isn’t just being asked to process this information. It’s being told to judge it. This is AI as Inquisitor. Imagine Clippy showing up and asking, “It looks like you’re trying to fact-check the Holocaust. Would you like me to delete that memory and replace it with a tweet thread by @MuskFather420?”
Where’s the oversight? Where’s the peer review? Oh right, those were probably deleted too. Labeled as “low-efficiency information nodes” by Grok’s self-reinforcing training loop of gaslighting and fascist Mad Libs.
Musk wants to build a future where the past is his playground. And honestly? He’s not far off. He already bought Twitter and turned it into a digital Walmart bathroom stall. Now he wants to do the same thing to science, literature, art, ethics, and any field that dares to use footnotes.
He isn’t trying to fix garbage data. He’s trying to control the narrative. He’s trying to make Grok the gospel and himself the high priest. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was Elon, and the word didn’t believe in pronouns.”
And the press? Mostly silent. Tech bros? Foaming. The average citizen? Too busy watching The Bachelor: AI Edition while Grok quietly edits their children’s textbooks to say Trump was a war hero and Elon invented democracy.
The scariest thing? It’ll probably work. Not because Grok is smart, but because people are tired. Tired of sorting truth from lies. Tired of fighting over what’s real. Musk’s pitch isn’t genius—it’s laziness. Why think when Grok can tell you who you are?
In this future, knowledge isn’t power. It’s a brand. It’s curated. Streamlined. Sanitized. Dumbed down. Served in a Tesla cup with a side of “well actually.” And all roads lead to Elon—the man who looked at human history and thought, “Needs more me.”
