Anthropic doesn't has that much pressure to pay while Musk has an IPO coming up and he wants to cleanup his numbers.
Its also not a good sign because he should be able to leverage Grok, his billion dollar investment, instead of renting it out to Anthropic. But hey what does it matter to investor? if the IPO explodes, it is clear that people either can't read, don't care or don't understand.
