How is arbitrarily restricting access to a flagship product ahead of an IPO not market manipulation?

It is market manipulation in the way that burning down a factory or assassinating a CEO is market manipulation - technically correct, but the intent is much stronger than that.

  • I see. You certainly have a flair for the dramatic.

    Not sure why you think market manipulation surrounding the attempted decapitation of a sovereign state shows less "but the intent is much stronger than that" than the dealings with Anthropic.

    I would think it is clear that for the current administration, raw power and market manipulation are two sides of the same coin.
