Venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz poured $25 million into a pro-artificial intelligence super political action committee, boosting the industry’s war chest ahead of the November midterm elections. The AI-focused Leading the Future super PAC now has over $51 million on hand thanks to the donations from the Andreessen Horowitz co-founders, according to its latest filings with the Federal Election Commission released Wednesday. The haul comes as Silicon Valley is spending more than ever to fend off a growing patchwork of state rules that the industry says could hamper its ability to quickly develop the AI technologies reshaping the US economy. The debate over AI’s impact on jobs, energy prices and society has emerged as a flashpoint for voters in an an election cycle focused heavily on affordability and other economic concerns. Leading the Future’s cash pile allows the industry to boost political candidates in both parties it sees as friendly to their cause and oppose potential antagonists. The group has already spent over $13 million on primary elections across the US, including in Illinois, Texas, Georgia and New York. The group’s Democratic arm has spent over $2 million in New York’s 12th district alone to oppose congressional candidate Alex Bores , a state legislator who helped pass legislation creating new safety guardrails around the technology. Leading the Future has also committed to spending $5 million to boost pro-AI candidate Byron Donalds , a Republican, in the Florida governor’s race. So far, the super PAC’s track record has been mixed. Democrat Jesse Jackson Jr. lost his Congressional primary in Illinois after Leading the Future spent over $1.4 million boosting him. Four candidates backed by the group’s Democratic and Republican arms have won their primaries so far. Leading the Future says it has $140 million total in contributions and commitments, including money secured by its nonprofit advocacy arm, Build American AI. The super PAC e...

Jet-Ski Maker Crashes Most On Record As "Mind-Blowing" Tariff-Hit Sparks Worst-Case Scenario Fears BRP's US-listed shares crashed the most on record as the US cash session began, after the jet ski and snowmobile maker withdrew its financial outlook . The company warned that changes in the US tariff environment surrounding steel, aluminum, and copper could result in a $500 million hit before any mitigation efforts . BRP wrote in a statement: For BRP, the amendment mainly leads to a 25% tariff on the total value of imported snowmobiles and the majority of ORV models, replacing the previous 50% tariff on applicable metal content only. The Company currently estimates the potential incremental tariff cost related to this amendment to be in excess of $500 million for the remainder of the year, before any mitigation measures that could partially offset these impacts. BRP CEO Denis Le Vot stated: Like many manufacturers, we are operating in a highly volatile and unpredictable tariff environment that continues to create uncertainty across the market. Despite the material burden of these tariff changes, we expect that, with our solid balance sheet, the agility of our teams and the strong start of the year, we will be able to manage our business through this challenge and continue to push BRP forward. BRP shares crashed 33% at the start of the US cash session, the most on record with Bloomberg trading data going back to August 2013. BRP shares are sharply retracing the bull run that began in April 2025 and peaked in February. The shares are in a deep bear market so far this year, down 25%. Bloomberg data tracking Wall Street analysts shows 12 "Buys," 9 "Holds," and zero "Sells." The average analyst 12-month price target is $82. Stifel analyst Martin Landry warned, " The magnitude of the impact is mind-blowing, but it is likely the worst-case scenario ." Tyler Durden Wed, 04/15/2026 - 10:50
