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

The company hasn't IPOed so it's not on the market.

You should run for office. You'd fit in.

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.
