Hegseth would try to nationalize them. He wouldn’t succeed. But he’s an idiot who trashes things without any clear benefit to himself, and the ensuing fight would probably push Anthropic’s IPO window out of 2026.
It's rather obvious to me once the Chinese and Russian hackers get a hold of this it will be "jailbroken" overnight, and all mayhem and anarchy will break loose.
Unfortunately we cannot trust this guy. He’s deep in the Trump administration and has been doing everything in his power to try and pick other companies to win over Anthropic. Just before all this happened, he was going on a rant about how Anthropic was doing too much to disable their models for safety / regulatory capture reasons!
