Leaked memo: Anthropic CEO links US govt hostility to Trump donations
A leaked memo from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly claims US government hostility toward the AI company is linked to its employees' donations to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. The memo, obtained by an unnamed source, suggests regulatory scrutiny and antitrust investigations may be politically motivated retaliation. This directly ties Anthropic's $18 billion valuation and its regulatory battles to partisan political funding.
