Quite a lot worse. Both OpenAI and xAI were among the largest donors of Trump's campaign Musk was the largest individual political donor of the 2024 election [1] and Greg Brockman was the largest donor to Trump's "MAGA Inc" super PAC [2] [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/elon-musk-trump-campaign-spending-fec/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/elon-mu...

You’re right, Anthropic is quite a bit worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthropic-ai-iran-campaign/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthrop...

  Wait - are you missing all the context on this? Anthropic pushed back against this hard, there was a whole back and forth. I'm on mobile and can't look it up for you atm but if you google about this scenario, Anthropic definitely come out of this looking a lot better than OpenAI and xAI

    Did you read the article? Or are you just replying? Anthropic has literally been working with the DoD and Plantair for 2 years now. They were key to the Iran invasion. If thats “looking better”, keep it.

      Key being “worked”, past tense Now they’re blacklisted from government work (appeal pending) and OpenAI practically jumped to replace them immediately

        You’re right it completely doesn’t matter they’ve been instrumental to ICE and the war in Iran. It’s fine now, their previous actions are excused. Edit: the word you’re also looking for is “working” not “worked”. I have many friends on government contracts still using Claude.

If you evaluate fascism in terms of donation, yes. But it is more about the political opinions, IMHO, and Anthropic doesn't sound more attractive than the competitors. Anthropic is very much to the right of the transhumanism spectrum (even if xAI and OpenAI are even farther).
