President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would be appointing David O. Sacks as the " White House A.I. & Crypto Czar" It's the first position of its kind in U.S. history and, more importantly, a fulsome reward for Sacks.

Sacks’ appointment unambiguously indicates the tech vision that will win out under a Trump presidency.

Sacks has a grudge against Google , Disney , Google and Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham .

He says Sacks ' appointment to the White House came after Sacks shared a clip from Andreessen ’s recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience concerning the dystopian path we were on with AI ” before “the timeline split,” leading us to “a different path now”.

Sacks and Andreessen are mutually invested in xAI, which is an “anti-woke” chatbot named Grok .

The incoming White House brain trust sees all of that as a waste of time.

Trump is following through right away, promising to repeal Biden ’s toothless A.I. executive order.
