ChrisGPT · x · 2026-11-04
The author reports nobody at DC lobbying circles or frontier labs was nervous about the election results: each org splits money into two PACs, one per party. Leading Future (OpenAI execs + a16z) runs Think Big for Democratic races and American Mission for Republican ones; Anthropic-funded Public First does the same via Jobs and Democracy PAC and Defending Our Values. Over $55M spent this cycle.
