Tesla CEO Elon Musk Criticizes Anthropic AI Amid Record Funding Round
Anthropic has secured $30 billion in Series G funding at a $380 billion valuation, led by GIC and Coatue. The AI startup's revenue run-rate now stands at $14 billion, marking exponential growth since its inception three years ago. This round ranks as the second-largest private tech fundraising effort, trailing only OpenAI.
Elon Musk publicly condemned Anthropic's Claude AI on X, labeling it "misanthropic and evil" and alleging racial and demographic bias. His remarks highlight the intensifying rivalry between Musk's xAI, developer of Grok, and Anthropic's Claude models in the competitive AI landscape.
