Greg Brockman

In February 2026, after FEC filings revealed Greg Brockman's $25 million combined donations to MAGA Inc., the QuitGPT boycott movement launched on February 5, 2026. The boycott attracted over 300,000 participants and was endorsed by actor Mark Ruffalo. The movement focused on Brockman's political donations and OpenAI's partnerships with ICE/DHS. It became part of a broader 'Resist and Unsubscribe' campaign organized by NYU Professor Scott Galloway targeting 10 tech companies.

In September 2025, Greg Brockman made a $12.5 million donation to MAGA Inc. super PAC. His wife Anna made an identical $12.5 million donation the same day, for a combined $25 million - the largest single donation in the six-month fundraising cycle, comprising nearly one-fourth of MAGA Inc.'s $102 million haul. This represented a massive shift from Brockman's previous political giving, which consisted only of small donations to Hillary Clinton (2016) and Rep. Patrick McHenry (2018).

On September 4, 2025, Greg Brockman attended a White House dinner with 33 Silicon Valley leaders including Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Sundar Pichai, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella. At the event, Brockman praised the administration: 'We've been just very impressed with how this Administration has really embraced AI. In addition to the most massive infrastructure building in history… There has been a choice of whether to approach it with optimism, and I think that that's what I've really seen from this Administration.'

OpenAI President Greg Brockman, alongside venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, launched a $100 million+ super PAC network called 'Leading the Future' to advocate against strict AI regulation. The PAC targets lawmakers who support AI safety legislation and plans to influence the 2026 midterm elections. Other supporters include Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Perplexity, and angel investor Ron Conway.

In January 2025, OpenAI announced Greg Brockman would lead the Stargate project, a $500 billion joint venture with SoftBank and Oracle to build AI data center infrastructure in the United States. The project was announced at the White House with President Trump, representing one of the largest public-private AI infrastructure investments in history. Brockman returned from a sabbatical specifically to lead this initiative.

On January 20, 2025, Greg Brockman attended Donald Trump's presidential inauguration along with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and CPO Kevin Weil. The attendance was part of a broader tech industry presence at the inauguration, signaling OpenAI leadership's alignment with the incoming administration.

On November 6, 2024, hours after Trump's election victory, Greg Brockman posted on X: 'Congratulations to President Trump! I'm encouraged by the tech-forwardness of his campaign. Leading in technology generally—and AI in particular—is how America can continue to lead the world and protect democratic values. Looking forward to working with his administration.'
