Conspiracy theory on the (possibly extended) ban on Mythos

Conspiracy Theory: The administration likely went after Anthropic on the day of SpaceX's IPO because members of the administration are heavily invested in SpaceX. And now that SpaceX is purchasing Cursor all the incentive is there to slow-down Anthropic. It would be easy to dismiss this scenario, but the manner in which they went after Anthropic counts as well... blocking foreign-born employees (vital employees) from having access to Mythos is practically knee-capping advancements for the company. These employees developed, assisted in training, testing for the model. They're currently working on refining the model and looking to make it safe for deployment. All of this progress is halted in one afternoon over a jailbreak prompt? Makes the jailbreak come across as convenient pretext. People are pointing fingers at Anthropic's doomerism (which may have played a role as well) but the manner and timing in which this all went down doesn't smell right. Presuming the admin is playing favorites it would of course lead to the worst-case scenario where Fable does not return for a long time and Mythos remains blocked indefinitely. /ConspiracyTheory I would hope that this take is completely wrong and Fable returns by this weekend or next (we look back on this as a strange hiccup in 2026's AI advancement). But given this administration's patterns of insider dealing it would be surprising if they didn't have ulterior incentive in slowing down Anthropic as such a pivotal moment. And it would be surprising if they weren't heavily invested in SpaceX (giving them incentive to take drastic off-the-cuff action against its competitors).
