If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Some Anthropic investors are growing frustrated with CEO Dario Amodei's combative stance toward the Trump administration, particularly regarding a federal ban on the AI startup. Investors have privately complained that Amodei has antagonized Pentagon officials rather than working to smooth relations as the dispute escalated. While defense contractor Lockheed Martin said it will comply with the government's ban, Anthropic investors are urging the company to contain the fallout from Amodei's posture, even as they continue to support the company's broader stance.
