WSJ: Anthropic Co-Founder Tom Brown Brokered $1.25B/Month SpaceX Compute Deal, Became Trump-Musk Fixer
Summary
The Wall Street Journal profiles Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown as the lab's go-between with the Trump administration and Elon Musk, crediting a March meeting at SpaceX where Brown argued Anthropic was less 'woke' than Musk assumed. The relationship paved the way for Anthropic to pay xAI roughly $1.25B/month through May 2029 to rent SpaceX computing capacity, with total commitments reaching up to $84.5B per the lab's confidential IPO prospectus.
