Headline: New York Times, 2/21/2026
Theodore Schleifer and Matt Zdun reports:
The two biggest donors, by far, backed Republicans. Greg Brockman, a co-founder of OpenAI, and his wife, Anna, made four donations on Sept. 12, 2025, of $12.5 million apiece — two from him, two from her — to the leading super PACs backing the A.I. industry and President Trump.
OpenAI has stressed that the Brockmans made these donations in a personal capacity. Industry critics are skeptical. But the contributions nevertheless redound to the benefit of OpenAI and are aligned with its political strategy of primarily supporting Republicans and the Trump administration.
