Elon Musk pitched a rebrand for his error-riddled online encyclopedia, Grokipedia, suggesting that it will one day be named Encyclopedia Galactica—an homage to science fiction author Isaac Asimov.
“When Grokipedia is good enough (long way to go), we will change the name to Encyclopedia Galactica,” he wrote on X.
He then added, “Copies will be etched in stone and sent to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This time, it will not be lost.”
Encyclopedia Galactica was featured in Asimov’s “Foundation” novels as a repository of all human knowledge to be stored for thousands of years. An iconic literary figure, Asimov’s writings continue to inspire generations of engineers, scientists, and creators.
It’s highly unlikely that Grokipedia—and by extension, Musk—will ever have such a legacy.
