And it's less likely after the election. Trump pledged to repeal Biden's 2023 executive order on AI. He put out a very different executive order in 2019 that sought to reduce barriers. He is an enthusiastic deregulator compared to the current chief. That helped more than a little to get Andreessen, Musk, etc., to climb on the bandwagon. It can all be reversed at the wave of a very transactional presidential hand, but the sounds coming from the incoming administration are more favorable to open AI than to OpenAI. https://www.rstreet.org/commentary/ai-policy-in-the-trump-administration-and-congress-after-the-2024-elections/ https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-maintaining-american-leadership-artificial-intelligence/

Do keep in mind that both Trump and Andreessen & co are not interested in deregulation for ideological reasons, only because this specific deregulation is favourable for the men in question. It's not about "open AI" but just opposition to the tech giants. And as a consequence, there's a danger that they may pivot on AI regulation the moment anything happens to the current AI bubble that makes it unappealing for VC funding. (OpenAI & co raising the prices on the models to above operating costs would almost certainly eviscerate the AI startup scene)
