There you have it! Today is Anthropic Day in court. Judge Rita Lin hears the injunction hearing in San Francisco — and the ENTIRE American AI industry showed up to tell the Department of War they're wrong. Tell Emil Michael he is wrong.
Apple. Google. Meta. Microsoft. Amazon. OpenAI. Nearly 50 Google and OpenAI employees filed briefs IN THEIR PERSONAL CAPACITY. Former federal judges. Even Elizabeth Warren — who I rarely agree with — wrote to Pete Hegseth yesterday calling this what it is: "retaliation."
Let me be very clear about what's happening here. Emil Michael — a former UBER executive with ZERO AI expertise and ZERO military technology background — is about to be publicly humiliated in a federal courtroom. Not by Anthropic. By his own incompetence.
Court filings revealed that the Pentagon told Anthropic the two sides were "nearly aligned" — ONE WEEK before Trump declared the relationship over. So which is it? Were you close to a deal, or was this an "unacceptable national security risk"? You can't have both. The sworn declarations expose the DoW's case as built on "technical misunderstandings" and claims that were NEVER raised during months of negotiations.
This is the man who got GPT-5 removed from NIPR. Who designated a $380 BILLION American AI company — the same label we use for Huawei and Kaspersky — as a "supply chain risk." Who, through his former business partner Eric Schmidt (Google's ex-CEO, his special advisor at DPCM Capital — it's in the SEC filings), is quietly handing Google a monopoly on Pentagon AI.
When OpenAI — Anthropic's FIERCEST competitor — files in DEFENSE of the company you're trying to destroy, you are not protecting national security. You are a man without pants in a courtroom full of people who actually understand AI.
Claude Is the MOST deployed frontier AI model on DoW classified networks. It wasn't banned for any technical failure. It was banned because one man's ego was bruised.
Emil Michael's days in the Pentagon ARE numbered. Today is the beginning of the end.
