President Trump has officially named David Sacks, a venture capitalist and Silicon Valley powerhouse, as America’s first-ever “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” In true Trump fashion, this move sends a loud and clear message to both Big Tech overlords and global competitors: America is taking back its tech dominance, and it’s doing so under the leadership of a man who knows how to win.
“David will guide policy for the Administration in Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency, two areas critical to the future of American competitiveness,” Trump announced on Truth Social. “David will focus on making America the clear global leader in both areas. He will safeguard free speech online and steer us away from Big Tech bias and censorship.”
Sacks isn’t just some bureaucrat plucked out of obscurity. He’s a battle-tested entrepreneur who made waves as the COO of PayPal during its early days, becoming part of the legendary “PayPal Mafia.” Later, he founded Yammer, which was sold to Microsoft for $1.2 billion, and went on to launch Craft Ventures, a successful venture capital firm. If anyone knows how to navigate the intersection of technology, business, and policy, it’s David Sacks.
Trump’s decision to bring Sacks on board is perfectly timed, coinciding with Bitcoin’s jaw-dropping surge past $100,000. Trump celebrated the milestone, saying, “CONGRATULATIONS BITCOINERS!!! $100,000!!! YOU’RE WELCOME!!!” It’s classic Trump—taking credit where it’s due, especially after his pro-crypto policies and bold vision helped fuel the market boom.
During his campaign, Trump pledged to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, calling him a roadblock to America’s tech future. “We’ll replace him with someone who believes America should build the future, not block the future,” Trump declared, adding that under his leadership, the U.S. would become the “crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world.”
In addition to cryptocurrency, Sacks will also spearhead efforts to position the United States as the leader in artificial intelligence, ensuring the country doesn’t fall behind adversaries like China. With his extensive business background and pragmatic approach, Sacks is expected to tackle issues like regulatory clarity for crypto and the protection of free speech in a landscape increasingly dominated by woke tech giants.
This move signals a new era where innovation and freedom—not bureaucratic red tape and Big Tech overreach—drive America’s tech policy. Trump has once again proven he’s not afraid to shake up the status quo and bring in leaders who prioritize results over pandering.
Democrats, predictably, are already clutching their pearls. They’d rather have unaccountable bureaucrats dictating tech policy from the depths of Washington than someone like Sacks who understands the real-world impact of technology. But this appointment shows that Trump is serious about making America great again—this time, by leading the way in AI and crypto.
