David Sacks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

David Sacks is at the center of several major developments this week both in business and policymaking and the headlines have been relentless. In the past few days Sacks has acted assertively in his role as White House AI and Crypto Czar. Axios and TechCrunch both describe a very public spat between Sacks and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on X. Sacks accused Anthropic of pursuing a regulatory capture strategy meant to stifle competition and push heavyweight state-level AI laws that in his view would serve Anthropic’s interests while harming startups. Amodei quickly responded with a blog post and interviews stating Anthropic only wants to secure America’s leadership in AI and is happy to collaborate with the Trump administration on common goals including AI for healthcare[Axios, TechCrunch, NextGov]. Despite the sometimes pointed exchanges, Amodei stressed that all major parties essentially want the same outcomes and brushed aside Sacks’s criticisms as politics, not substance.

On the business front, TechCrunch reports that Sacks’ Craft Ventures led a $42 million Series A investment in Starbridge, a promising govtech company building AI-powered tools for infrastructure challenges. Sacks publicly praised the new wave of mission-driven founders tackling real-world systems. That business activity underscores his continuing influence in Silicon Valley despite his official government role, with some critics still raising ethics questions regarding his simultaneous private and public sector activities.

In the policy arena, Sacks confirmed early Saturday the appointment of Selig as Trump’s nominee to lead the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force. According to CoinDesk and Fidelity, this move is expected to reshape crypto regulation, marking another major area where Sacks is leaving his imprint. During multiple conference appearances last week, including an on-stage conversation with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at Dreamforce, Sacks openly discussed his pivot from tech investor to national political player, recounting his journey from DeSantis supporter to an active Trump advisor. He described his rise as organic, driven by direct engagement with the biggest political and business issues of the day.

On social media, Sacks has been outspoken, especially about AI regulation and its risks. His posts about Anthropic’s “fear-mongering” went viral, and his comments have animated both critics and supporters, demonstrating his continued prowess as a political and media influencer. TechCrunch notes his views have rattled some in the AI safety community, with accusations flying about attempts to intimidate nonprofit watchdogs, though it’s not yet clear how his comments might affect policy long-term.

There are persistent ethics investigations being pushed by Democrats regarding Sacks’s government service and financial divestments, but for now he retains two major waivers to operate in both spheres, having reportedly divested over $85 million in personal crypto and AI holdings, according to TechCrunch.

If you’re following long-term biography flashpoints, Sacks’s rapid evolution from high-stakes Silicon Valley founder and investor to a hard-driving D.C. operator looks set to define his legacy. He continues to juggle his podcasting duties on the All-In podcast, which is covering these stories in real time and remains an influential platform for his ideas.
