More tech money is flowing into Donald Trump’s coffers. In September, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman gave Trump’s super PAC a whopping $25 million — the largest of the six-month fundraising cycle.
The gigantic donation is a sign of Brockman’s political allegiances, and of the ChatGPT-maker’s attempt to curry favor with the Republican administration.

As Bloomberg reported, MAGA Inc. currently has more money in its accounts than the main super PAC for House Republicans spent in the entire 2024 election cycle. And people like Brockman are a big reason why. The OpenAI executive’s donation makes up almost a fourth of the super PAC’s $102 million fundraising haul from the back half of 2025. The money arrived on Sept. 12, according to a Thursday filing by MAGA Inc. with the Federal Election Commission. Most recently, the PAC helped the Republican Matt Van Epps win a special congressional election in Tennessee.

His spending isn’t limited to swaying Trump. Brockman and other tech leaders announced this summer that they’re launching a super PAC to push for candidates who support AI industry. That places Brockman’s effort in the same vein as Fairshake, the pro-cryptocurrency lobbying group that successfully helped tank Katie Porter’s run for Senate in 2024.
