More than $215,000 from OpenAI employees has flowed into a political effort directly opposing Leading the Future, the super PAC backed by their own company president, Greg Brockman. Leading the Future, or LTF, was established in 2025 to support political candidates favoring a lighter regulatory touch on artificial intelligence ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Brockman and his wife Anna personally contributed $25 million to the effort, and the couple also each donated $12.5 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC in 2025. LTF has raised between $125 million and $140 million in total, with significant backing from Andreessen Horowitz. Employees began raising concerns about OpenAI’s perceived ties to LTF during internal meetings in May 2026. On June 1, 2026, OpenAI released a statement distancing itself from any super PAC activity, emphasizing that Brockman’s contributions were made in his personal capacity. Rival super PACs have emerged across the AI industry, including groups aligned with Anthropic. The $215,000 in employee donations is small relative to the hundreds of millions flowing through AI super PACs.
