CoinWorld News reports that The Information journalist Stephanie Palazzolo posted on X, revealing that she obtained internal speech records from Anthropic founder Dario Amodei. Dario stated internally that the reason for the tense relationship between Anthropic and the Trump administration is that Anthropic refuses to curry favor with the current government — “The real reason is that we haven’t donated to Trump… We haven’t praised Trump in a dictatorial manner (unlike Sam Altman); we support AI regulation, which conflicts with their agenda; we have been honest on many AI policy issues (such as job replacement); we have truly stuck to our red lines rather than colluding to create so-called safety shows to appease employees.” Stephanie noted that Dario’s mention of donations was likely a reference to OpenAI CEO Greg Brockman donating $25 million to Trump.
