# Is Grok useful for breaking news, or does its connection to X add too much noise?

Grok’s access to posts on X seems like it could help when a story is still developing, but fast-moving social posts can also be rumor-heavy. I’m curious how it performs when you ask what is actually confirmed rather than just what people are saying.

Has anyone compared Grok with Perplexity or standard news searches during a breaking story? What do you use to verify the details?
