In fact, a friend heard about this and immediately signed up for a $200/year Claude Pro plan. This is someone who has been only a very occasional user of ChatGPT and never used Claude before.
I told my friend "You could just sign up for the free plan and upgrade after you try it out."
"No, I want to send them this tangible message of support right now!"
Still, you’d need a million people to do that to compensate the $200M military contract.
As an aside, there are probably lots of companies that serve the government seriously considering cutting the government as a customer.

Does the military pay $200m per month?
As the parent stated, the Claude Pro plan is $200 per year, not per month.
