David Sacks’ 130-day term as Trump’s crypto and AI czar has ended
David Sacks will lead a new tech-focused advisory group established by the White House, which will include key tech leaders like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg.
David Sacks, a venture capitalist who became a special White House official under US President Donald Trump last year, has wrapped up his 130-day tenure as crypto and AI czar but will continue to shape policy in a new role.
“We’ve now used up that time,” Sacks told Bloomberg on Thursday, noting that he will continue making policy recommendations across a broad range of tech industries as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
Sacks has been an influential figure in the White House since Trump’s appointment in December 2024, acting as the president’s key adviser on technology. Reuters noted that under US rules, special government employees are limited to 130 days of work in a 12-month period.
