Viral Claim Fact Check
Fact-check any claim going viral on X using Grok's real-time access and DeepSearch research mode.
Essential for journalists, social media managers, and anyone who needs to verify or debunk a post before resharing or responding.
Prompt
This claim is spreading on X: "[PASTE CLAIM]" Fact check it: 1. What exactly is the claim making? 2. What verifiable evidence supports it? (cite sources) 3. What evidence contradicts or complicates it? (cite sources) 4. What context or caveat is being stripped out as it spreads? 5. Verdict: true / mostly true / misleading / mostly false / false 6. Why it is going viral regardless of accuracy — what emotion is it hitting? Be direct about the verdict. Do not hedge if the evidence is one-sided.
Parameters
💡Pro Tips
- •A five-tier verdict scale is more useful than true/false binaries for messy real-world claims
- •Asking WHY it is viral separates accuracy analysis from spread analysis
- •Direct verdict language ("be direct, do not hedge") cuts through Grok's occasional both-sides tendency
