Elon Musk’s AI Grok has been fiercely criticised in recent days, after the chatbot began generating sexualised images of women and girls, flooding the app with explicit content. Some of the images involve girls as young as 10 years old, sparking global backash. Multiple countries worldwide have demanded answers on how X on how the app will comply to its digital standards, or have referred the matter to their communications watchdogs. Vedika Bahl goes through what we know in Truth or Fake.

CNBC’s Emily Wilkins on news out of Congress

CNBC’s “Closing Bell” team discusses the Trump administration’s focus on business and whether capitalism, as it currently known, is dead with Walter Isaacson, Tulane University professor and author of best-selling books about Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.

Thirty million Americans have a rare disease. Two-thirds of those 30 million are children. There are more than 10,000 rare diseases – 95% of which don’t have an FDA-approved treatment. But despite those eye-popping numbers, millions of people continue to suffer from diseases that often go overlooked by the broader healthcare industry. Small patient populations mean drug companies and investors aren’t willing to invest in the space, and outdated regulatory frameworks make the process of developing lifesaving treatments too slow for the families that need them.

CNBC’s anchor Becky Quick describes her family’s struggle with rare disease and how her experience inspired the CNBC Cures initiative. Over the next several episodes of The Path, Becky will highlight the challenges faced by millions of Americans, put a spotlight on the bottlenecks slowing progress in the rare disease space, and talk with stakeholders who have the power to bring about change.

The EU is set to pass a trade deal with South American trade bloc Mercosur after Brussels unveiled new concessions this week. HSBC has agreed to pay nearly 268 million euros to the French treasury to settle up a case over fraud on dividend tax payments. And, protest from hundreds of UK pubs over higher business rates seems to have convinced lawmakers.
