OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman
OpenAI cofounder and president Greg Brockman is reportedly one of the major donors to US President Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc.

A recent report by The Verge revealed that Brockman and his wife Anna made a combined donation of $25 million in September 2025 to the pro-Trump super political action committee (PAC), Make America Great Again (MAGA) Inc. This was the largest contribution in the six-month fundraising cycle.

Founded in September 2022, MAGA Inc is an independent expenditure-only super PAC, which can raise and spend unlimited funds on campaign advertising but cannot coordinate with candidates or donate directly to campaigns or political parties.


Brockman and his family's contribution has drawn attention in discussions about tech executives aligning with President Trump’s administration, especially as the latter promotes pro-AI industry policies and makes efforts to limit state-level AI regulation.

According to the report, he has also financially supported the pro-AI super PAC “Leading the Future,” which has run ads against a New York State Assembly member, Alex Bores, who was involved with other AI regulations in the past.

This follows the Trump administration pushing American tech companies to invest in the US to avoid stricter regulatory pressures.

Without naming others, the report states that several tech leaders have contributed to Trump’s inauguration fund, attended events with him, and met with him and White House officials to maintain cordial relations with the government.

Meanwhile, the Trump AI Action Plan includes language aimed at limiting state AI rules that are considered burdensome by the tech industry, with specific reference to California’s AI transparency law, which many tech companies opposed.
