Startup Sage Joins Presidential Tech Team

David Sacks, the renowned ex-PayPal COO and tech entrepreneur, has been appointed by Donald Trump to spearhead cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence policy development.

The announcement came via Truth Social, Trump’s preferred social networking platform, signaling a strategic move to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.

From PayPal Roots to Presidential Advisory

A prominent member of the legendary “PayPal Mafia,” Sacks brings extensive tech credentials to his new role. He co-founded Yammer, which Microsoft acquired for $1.2 billion in 2012, and currently leads Craft Ventures, an investment firm backing innovative startups like SpaceX, Reddit, and ClickUp. His previous statements suggest a vision for cryptocurrencies that aligns closely the original PayPal concept of creating a comprehensive monetary database.

Deregulation on the Horizon

Sacks’ background hints at a potential shift towards a more deregulatory approach to technology policy. His right-leaning perspective suggests the incoming administration may implement a more lenient regulatory framework for crypto and AI sectors, marking a significant departure from the Biden administration’s stance.

The appointment signals Trump’s commitment to fostering technological innovation through reduced governmental oversight.
