Staff from five of the world\u2019s leading artificial intelligence companies disproportionately donated more than a million dollars to Democrats in the second quarter of 2026 alone.<\/p>\n

Employees at Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta and xAI gave a combined total of $2.02 million to Democrats and $274,000 to Republicans, according to Federal Election Commission records covering April 1 through June 30, 2026. OpenAI employees appeared to have given exclusively to Democrats during the quarter, while employees at rivals Google, Meta, Anthropic and xAI showed significant bias toward Democrats in their donations. <\/p>\n

OpenAI employees in particular donated 100% of their roughly $71,000 in individual contributions and roughly $225,000 in political action committee (PAC) contributions to Democrat-based groups in Q2 of 2026, giving nothing to Republican groups, according to their FEC filings. Two hundred thousand dollars of this was a single donation to DreamNYC, which supported Democratic New York State Assemblyman Alex Bores \u2014 a prominent advocate of AI regulation \u2014 in his failed 2026 House run, according to the SuperPAC\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

In 2025, OpenAI\u2019s president and co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife donated a combined $25 million to pro-Trump super PAC Maga Inc, the New York Times reported<\/span>. (RELATED: OpenAI Admits Its AI Went Rogue During Cybersecurity Test)<\/strong><\/p>\n

By comparison, Google staff gave 72.4% of its total of over $608,000 in contributions to Democrats and only 1.8% to Republicans, according to FEC records. Meta staff similarly donated more than 65% of its $245,000 total to Democrats, but gave a significant 22% to Republicans. It could not be determined whether the Google and Meta contributions came specifically from employees in those companies\u2019 AI divisions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta each did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Anthropic offered up the most to Democrats and Republicans, with 68.8% of the staff\u2019s roughly $1,616,000 donations going to Democrats and 12.9% sent to Republicans, FEC records showed. The company\u2019s gifts to Republicans were roughly 19 times more than Google\u2019s, and about 4 times more than Meta\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Anthropic researcher Daniel Ziegler gave $500,000 to DreamNYC, according to FEC records. His single contribution accounts for roughly 31% of all Anthropic employee giving in the quarter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthroPAC, Anthropic\u2019s employee-funded political action committee, brought in more than $275k in Q2 \u2014 more than similar PACs from tech giants like Google and Amazon have raised in recent quarters,\u201d Politico\u2019s Jacob Wendler said in a post on X. \u201cContributions [from AnthroPAC] were 55\/45 split R to D.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employees of Grok parent company xAI only donated $1,641 total in contributions in Q2 of 2026, with $1,041 going to Democrats and a single $600 gift to a Republican. <\/p>\n

\u201cGrok is the most politically neutral and objectively truth-seeking AI,\u201d Elon Musk claimed in a post on X. Musk referenced the findings of a study from The Neutrality Project that asked AI models political survey questions and ranked Grok 4.5 the most neutral with a -0.02 score.<\/p>\n

Models from other major AI companies ranked further left; OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5.6 Luna scored -0.46, Anthropic\u2019s Claude Fable 5 scored -0.48, Meta\u2019s Llama 3.3 70B scored -0.55 and Google\u2019s Gemma 3 27B scored -0.56, according to the study.<\/p>\n
