David Sacks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

David Sacks has been in the center of several significant headlines over the past few days. The biggest story circulating in both Washington and Silicon Valley is ongoing scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers led by Senator Elizabeth Warren. They pressed Sacks, who now serves as the White House AI and crypto czar, to disclose whether he overstayed the 130-workday limit set for special government employees. Warren and her colleagues raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest given Sacks’s substantial private investments in crypto and AI, questioning whether the Trump administration’s financial waivers for Sacks actually go far enough to separate his personal business from his public role. This comes on the heels of previous calls for public disclosure of his financial assets, especially after Sacks claimed to have divested significant crypto holdings before taking office, a claim Warren publicly challenged earlier this year according to CNBC and Cointelegraph.

In response, Sacks’s spokesperson told CNBC that he has been meticulous in tracking the days served and is aware of the rules governing his temporary appointment. While Sacks has remained mostly silent publicly on these specific ethics allegations, it’s clear his government role continues to draw scrutiny as new crypto regulations and policies take shape under the Trump administration.

On the business and diplomatic front, Sacks had an especially high-profile week in London at President Trump’s state banquet. According to the New York Times and American Bazaar Online, Sacks was seated among industry heavyweights like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google’s Ruth Porat, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella. Their attendance marked the signing of the Tech Prosperity Deal—a high-stakes partnership between the US and the UK focusing on AI, quantum, and nuclear technology—with over forty billion dollars pledged by American tech firms for UK AI infrastructure. Sacks’s presence underscored his growing influence not only in American policy but as a bridge between governments and tech leadership.

Sacks also weighed in publicly on X, advising the Trump administration to rethink its export control approach regarding AI chips. In the latest post, he flagged the rapid innovation coming from Chinese firms like Huawei and warned Washington that restrictive policies could push allies away and gift strategic advantage to China, a message picked up by Times of India and Inside AI Policy. Sacks advocated for US companies to be allowed to sell AI technology globally with proper security protocols, arguing that bureaucratic delays only help global competitors.

There’s been no major announcement from Craft Ventures itself this week, but insiders continue to watch closely any moves Sacks makes regarding divestment and the fund’s positioning in the AI and crypto sectors. So far, reports indicate Sacks remains actively involved but is careful about separating his public duties from private interests as much as possible, though questions persist in Washington circles.

His social media activity has remained focused on policy recommendations and tech debate rather than personal disclosures. Followers note the deliberate and measured tone in recent posts, especially the latest comments on China and chip policy, reflecting his current role as the administration’s tech and crypto policy architect.
