Just weeks after raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation, Anthropic faces a U.S. Defense Department ban for refusing to drop its AI safety red lines on military use. CEO Dario Amodei called the move a supply chain risk label and plans a court challenge, while President Trump ordered a government boycott—prompting OpenAI to snag a Pentagon deal. Martin Shkreli pushed for a $500 billion bid from Apple or Amazon straight to shareholders, but skeptics point to Anthropic's safety-focused structure, major investor stakes from Amazon and Google, and Apple's history of smaller deals like Beats for $3 billion.
