Summary
Venture capitalist David Sacks has ended his role as a special government employee and is no longer serving as President Trump's Special Advisor on AI and Crypto. Sacks, who was Silicon Valley's primary advocate inside the White House and a key architect of its AI policy initiatives, revealed that he had 'used up' his time as a special government employee, which is limited to 130 days. He has now moved to a presidential advisory council instead. His extended tenure beyond the 130-day limit had raised questions about his continued role.
