  "account": "According to sources familiar with SpaceX's financial dealings, the company's largest single customer, named \"Customer B,\" is Anthropic, a leading artificial intelligence company. This revelation comes from a recent filing by SpaceX, which revealed that Customer B accounted for over a third of the revenue generated by the company's AI division, now known as Super Intelligence, during the third quarter of this year. Prior to this, the U.S. federal government had been SpaceX's biggest single customer, but Anthropic's payments have now surpassed those of the government, marking a significant shift in the company's client base.",
  "summary": "SpaceX had said in a filing that about 34.5% of its revenue for the last quarter came from a single client, identified only as \"Customer B.\"",
