Not under current court precedent, which treats corporate money as free speech. As long as corporations are treated as people, restrictions on political spending by corporations would abridge free speech.
In my personal view, if corporations were people, they'd be classified as sociopaths, which is yet another reason not to let them give money to politicians.
