# Can Grok search posts from private X accounts that I follow?

When I ask Grok to look for something on X, I’m not sure what parts of my timeline it can actually search. If I follow a private account, can Grok use that account’s posts in an answer, or is its X search limited to public posts?

I’m asking about the privacy boundary here, not just whether a post happens to appear in my feed. Has anyone tested this with a specific post or seen Grok explain what it could access?
