このコンテンツについて
David Sacks, Trump's AI and crypto czar, is in the center of a major controversy following a New York Times investigation published December 1st that's dominating headlines. The Times revealed that despite claims he divested from AI assets, Sacks has retained at least 449 stakes in AI-related companies while simultaneously shaping federal policy that could directly benefit those holdings. The investigation found he holds 708 tech investments total, including 20 cryptocurrency-related stakes, all potentially advantaged by policies under his influence.
The conflict of interest allegations center on his unique legal status as a "Special Government Employee," which exempts him from standard financial disclosure requirements and anti-corruption laws. According to the Times reporting, Sacks positioned himself to personally benefit from his official role, even as he claims compliance with ethics regulations.
The controversy extends beyond investments to his commercial activities. Sacks has dramatically expanded his All-In podcast brand through his government position, securing six million monthly downloads. His co-hosts have conducted high-profile interviews inside the White House with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and President Trump himself. At a July White House AI summit where Trump unveiled his AI roadmap, the All-In podcast initially sought one million dollar sponsorships from participants for private receptions with top innovators and administration officials. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles reportedly intervened to prevent All-In from being the sole host. The podcast also launched a twelve hundred dollar All-In branded tequila this year.
Sacks fired back hard on social media, accusing the New York Times of sensationalism and hiring Clare Locke, a major defamation law firm, to pressure the publication. In his X post, he called the Times a hoax factory and claimed the publication fabricated allegations and shifted goalposts repeatedly over five months. His spokesperson Jessica Hoffman stated that Sacks complied with all special government employee regulations and that his government work has actually cost him financially rather than benefiting him.
Public Citizen's co-president Lisa Gilbert called for his resignation, stating that the revelations explain why Trump administration AI policies resemble a government giveaway to tech billionaires. Congressional scrutiny appears likely as the controversy continues developing.
