Elon Musk alone has pumped more than $445 million into Republican campaigns ahead of the midterms, after spending a near-equal sum to get president Donald Trump elected in the last election cycle. Leading The Future, a Super PAC backed by OpenAI and Palantir cofounders and prominent tech venture capitalists including Marc Andreessen, has amassed $140 million to dole out to pro-AI candidates.

From wikipedia about Leading the Future:

In May 2026, the Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that super PACs associated with Leading the Future evaded federal transparency requirements by funneling payments through shell companies.[22] Contributions to Leading the Future in 2026 include $50,000,000 from Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen and $25,000,000 from Greg and Anna Brockman.[23]
