Trump, When Asked About White House Meeting with Anthropic’s Dario Amodei: ‘Who?’ - Gizmodo

President Donald Trump, when asked by a reporter if Anthropic had a meeting at the White House, responded 'Who?' The question referenced a meeting between Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week to discuss government access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model.

A Pentagon official, speaking anonymously to reporters, claimed that Amodei 'is a liar and has a God-complex.' Separately, the Secretary of Defense has applied a 'supply chain risk' designation to Anthropic. This designation can restrict or prevent the company from obtaining contracts with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, potentially damaging its commercial prospects.

The article from Gizmodo presents these developments as indicative of significant tension between Anthropic and the current administration. The 'supply chain risk' tag is a formal administrative action, while the personal criticism from the Pentagon official and the President's apparent lack of awareness of the meeting suggest discord at multiple levels of government regarding the company and its leadership.
