Axios reports Trump allies are targeting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, labeling
him an AI “doomsayer” and a leading figure in the politically criticized
effective altruism movement. A memo circulating inside the White House this week
names Amodei. The attacks indicate Anthropic could remain a focus of
Trump-aligned political pressure on AI safety proponents ahead of the midterms.
Market implication: elevated political risk for Anthropic as it readies an IPO
expected to be record-size.
