After Trump's re-election, AI will become the new 'super president' of the United States

Who truly controls the company after Anthropic's IPO?

Anthropic employs a complex governance structure to ensure AI safety takes precedence. The founders and Long Term Benefit Trust jointly control the board, with limited voting power for ordinary shareholders. The founders collectively hold special stocks with majority voting rights, and the LTBT can appoint a majority of directors, but the board can veto LTBT's nominees and put them to an employee vote. This structure may strengthen employee power, and the founders' control will expire after ten years, eventually giving ordinary shareholders control of the equity.
