David Sacks’ professed views on OpenAI’s business restructuring seemingly align with Elon Musk’s.
United States president-elect Donald Trump’s presumptive “White House AI and Crypto Czar,” David Sacks, has strong views on OpenAI’s pivot to “for-profit” and deep ties to Elon Musk.
Trump announced the appointment of Sacks, a former tech executive and member of the so-called “PayPal Mafia” (whose members include dozens of tech luminaries including Musk, YouTube co-founder Steven Chen, and investment mogul Peter Thiel), on his Truth Social account on Dec. 5.
The news prompted generally positive responses from the crypto community, as Sacks is reported to be a staunch Solana supporter and multi-coin investor.
