Actions from other entities targeting US Republican Party
In 2025, Joe Gebbia donated $1 million to the gubernatorial campaign of Greg Abbott. Gebbia has said his politics have shifted toward the Republican Party over time. In the 2024 presidential election, he voted for Donald Trump, despite donating $20,000 to Biden's re-election bid in 2023.
Peter Thiel donated approximately $1.7 million to Republican candidates and PACs during the 2024 election cycle, including contributions to various GOP Senate candidates and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
In October 2024, Patrick Collison donated $200,000 to Republican PACs including $83,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee and $58,300 each to PACs for congressmen Andy Barr and French Hill (pro-crypto House Financial Services Committee leaders). This marked a dramatic shift - since 2016, Collison had regularly backed Democrats including Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
Peter Thiel donated $15 million to support JD Vance's successful 2022 Ohio Senate campaign through the Protect Ohio Values PAC. Vance later became Trump's 2024 running mate and Vice President. Thiel's investment in Vance represents one of the most consequential political donations in recent history.
Safra Catz and her spouse contributed $250,000 to Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign. She also donated over $150,000 to Republican-aligned groups and individuals in the 2018 cycle, including to Congressman Devin Nunes.
