Recently, a major donation in the tech industry has drawn widespread attention. Greg Brockman, co-founder and president of OpenAI, donated $25 million to Donald Trump's super political action committee (PAC) in September, making it the largest single donation during the six-month fundraising cycle. This not only highlights Brockman's political leanings but also shows his intention to build closer ties with the Republican Party.

Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) super political action committee has become an important fundraising platform for Trump, with continuous inflows of funds from supporters to help future election campaigns. According to Bloomberg, the committee's current cash balance has exceeded the total spending of the Republican House super political action committees throughout the 2024 election cycle. Brockman's donation accounts for nearly a quarter of MAGA Inc.'s fundraising total for the second half of 2025.

According to Federal Election Commission documents, the funds were received on September 12, and MAGA Inc. recently helped Republican Matt Van Epps win a congressional special election in Tennessee. Currently, OpenAI is actively advancing its flagship product ChatGPT and making significant investments in the field of artificial intelligence, so Brockman's political donations are particularly significant.

Brockman expressed his views on his participation in political activities on social media. Although he did not explicitly mention MAGA Inc., he stated that his and his wife's donations aim to support policies that promote American innovation and constructive dialogue. He believes that supporting the development of artificial intelligence does not mean opposing regulation, but rather aims to reduce risks through thoughtful policies and to flexibly respond to the rapid development of technology.

Notably, Brockman is not limited to supporting Trump. He also co-founded a super political action committee with other tech leaders, focusing on supporting candidates who advocate for the artificial intelligence industry, showing his diversified strategy in political funding.
