I highly recommend using @grok to refute official administration posts [View all]



I'm generating a lot of factual pushback against maga and administration posts on twitter by looking up the facts and feeding them through @grok, which obligingly repeats the info and even adds context on many cases as it clarifies my claims.

I generally question it on the subject at hand like a reporter, using facts I've gleaned from doing my own research.

Not only am I getting many more views than the nothing my own account posts get, you can clearly see others gobbling up that info from what they may consider a more credible source than an anon poster.

If you engage in an actual colloquy with the automated info bot, you can generate a thread's worth of clarification and refutation of sources that aggravate and give grief with their prevarications, demagoguery and outright lies, and basically disrupt the propaganda fest.

Just thought I'd share my latest effort. I'm also learning a lot (after verifying the facts from what @grok shares).
