Ah, Elon Musk. The man who can singlehandedly disrupt industries and throw subtle shade with a tweet. And now, he’s gone and dropped a bomb on Anthropic, the AI company that’s, apparently, got some “Sam Bankman-Fried vibes” going on. Not the kind of vibes one usually wants to cultivate, unless your goal is a spectacular implosion.
In a moment of clarity (or perhaps just a bored tweet), Musk endorsed a theory comparing Anthropic to the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The AI company, with its eerily polite CEO Dario Amodei, radiates what Musk himself described as distinct “Sam Bankman-Fried vibes.” A most unusual compliment, indeed.
“FTX energy”
Enter Lukas (@hyperonline), the tech commentator who seems to have deep-dived into Anthropic’s corporate soul. Lukas penned an excruciatingly detailed thread that might make you wonder why a simple “hello” from Anthropic’s PR team sends shivers down his spine. And yes, the thread did confirm that Lukas, much like Musk, feels a creeping discomfort around Anthropic. It’s that familiar feeling-something off, something… calculated.

The discomfort, Lukas argues, stems from Anthropic’s near-identical playbook to FTX’s. Both rely on the wholesome, “we’re the responsible ones” marketing, the friendly corporate branding (the “wholesome chungus,” as Lukas so aptly put it), and a genius nerd founder to win your trust-before it all unravels in some spectacularly chaotic fashion. And let’s not forget that SBF, in all his glory, was an early investor in Anthropic-dumping a cool $500 million into the company back in 2022. Funny thing though: that money? Turns out, it was customer funds from the FTX debacle. Oh, the tangled webs we weave.
“The whole thing feels calculated and insincere,” Lukas elaborated. “Like a hyperpredator in disguise.” Touché, Lukas. If ever there were a way to describe something unsettling yet eerily professional, that’s it.
But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Musk, of course, has a dog in this fight. He’s not just a Twitter aficionado; he’s also the founder of xAI, the AI startup that’s in direct competition with Anthropic. This, dear reader, is Musk throwing a little bit of shade in the AI race. You can practically hear the sound of fingers being pointed and elbows being thrown.
Meanwhile, not everyone is quite so skeptical about Anthropic. Pop star Katy Perry, for instance, has taken a sharp turn into AI fandom. On February 28, she went all in on Claude Pro, Anthropic’s premium AI service, and proudly shared a screenshot of her $214.99 annual subscription purchase on X (formerly Twitter). Talk about celebrity endorsement-what’s next? A song called “I’m in Love with Claude”?
