@elonmusk @Grokipedia is more like an aggregator, not a true encyclopedia with direct inputs from humans. It is like https://t.co/Hml2teqMXF from KSF with AI refactoring. But #encycloreader supports much more diverse set of encyclopedias. #Grokopedia @ks_found @lsanger
@JohnStossel @elonmusk @npovmedia @AshleyRindsberg So bad it isn’t even authorized use the institutions of “higher learning”! I look forward to @elonmusk’s NEW #Grokopedia!
#Grokopedia incorrectly states in my bio that “I don’t think women owe everything to feminism” and rejects all edits. Their claim is false.
To be clear: I believe gender roles are obsolete (example? I enjoy being the breadwinner in my household) & I do believe women owe their freedoms to feminism. Any biography that misrepresents my views by twisting or reframing my words is inaccurate.
This is exactly why I am developing my own fact-based biography.

Insurance Industry Lobbying Against the Canada Pension Plan (1964–1965): “It Cuts Into Our Profits”
Summary
In 1964–65, Canada’s life insurance industry waged the most intense private-sector campaign against the creation of the Canada Pension Plan. Their core objection was bluntly financial: a universal, compulsory public pension would gut the market for private annuities and group pension plans that generated hundreds of millions in annual premiums and commissions.
Key Players
• Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association (CLIOA)
• Life Underwriters Association of Canada (LUAC)
• Great-West Life, Manufacturers Life, Sun Life, Confederation Life, London Life
Profit-Related Admissions (direct quotes or near-quotes from 1964–65 briefs & testimony)
D.E. Kilgour (President, Great-West Life / CLIOA), Dec 1964
“A compulsory government plan will inevitably reduce the volume of private pension and annuity business.”
James M. Gill (Chief Actuary, Confederation Life), 1964 Symposium
“The Canada Pension Plan will compete unfairly with private plans… particularly in the middle- and lower-income ranges where most of our group annuity sales occur.”
L.J. Etherington (Chairman, LUAC)
“Thousands of life underwriters across Canada will see their livelihood seriously impaired if a compulsory plan displaces voluntary savings.”
CLIOA Brief to Joint Committee
“The proposed plan will divert billions of dollars of contributory savings from private financial institutions into government hands.”
Internal industry estimate (cited in Ontario’s 1965 submission)
“Within ten years the Canada Pension Plan could reduce private pension and annuity premiums by 25–35 %.”
Tactics & Wins
Unable to kill the CPP outright, insurers forced:
1. Mandatory “integration” so employers could offset private contributions dollar-for-dollar with CPP credits
2. Low 25 % replacement rate, leaving ~75 % of retirement income for private products
3. 10-year phase-in to delay the profit hit
Outcome
By 1970 the private pension/annuity market had not collapsed; it simply reoriented around the CPP as a “floor,” preserving the lucrative upper layers for insurers.
Legacy Quote
“The life insurance industry did not oppose the Canada Pension Plan on ideological grounds alone; it opposed it first and foremost because it represented the single largest potential loss of premium revenue in the history of the Canadian life insurance business.”
— Dennis Guest, The Emergence of Social Security in Canada (3rd ed. 1997), p. 213

@WikiBias2024 Just like the network of tunnels they dug under Gaza with funding from Israel’s enemies, they are now weaving a network of lies supported and funded by those same enemies. There’s no choice but to move to #Grokopedia.
@MarioNawfal This is an incredible initiative! Preserving human knowledge in space is a visionary step towards safeguarding our history for future generations. Excited to see where this project goes! 🚀📚 #Grokopedia #SpaceInnovation

Yesterday, #ElonMusk announced the launch of #Grokopedia, an encyclopedia counterparting #Wikipedia.
It is now on the 0.1 version and Musk said version 1.0 will be 10x better.
According to #Grok, the AI platform of xAI, “Grokpedia leverages xAI's Grok to synthesize knowledge from diverse sources, prioritizing maximum truth-seeking over consensus-driven editing.”
Grok stated that Grokpedia aims to eliminate human bias by emphasizing verified information and logical analysis to ensure greater reliability.
The company added that even its early Version 0.1 demonstrates higher neutrality than Wikipedia, with further advancements to come.
@elonmusk @elonmusk for many you are great at many things but to me ur greatest and most important achievement is buying twitter and making #grokopedia
