I don't know how much input he had into the movie, but the fact that it still included a rather large portion of Oppenheimer trying to prevent a nuclear arms race as well as being persecuted for his support for socialism and uprisings in other countries is quite ironic.

The title executive producer can basically mean anything. It could be a studio head who approved funding for the movie but isn’t involved in production at all. Or it’s given to someone who secured the script and pitched it to a studio and did the pre production. There is no exact definition of the title. Like Steve Jobs is an executive producer on Toy Story only because he bought Pixar and funded the movie. And nowadays you often see one of the actors with an executive producer title to boost the marketing.

as you said while there isn't a strict definition executive producers usually provide or secure the funding independent of the production. 'Regular' producers are involved with the ins and outs of a movie. Though typically that is limited to how money is being spent and making sure the production vision can be executed with the budget on hand.
