David Sacks, an adviser for cryptocurrency and AI policy appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, has denied reports of changes to his role. "Reports today in some media that I am being moved to a traditional adviser role are not true," Sacks clarified via X. Sacks's role will involve dividing his time between Washington, where he will engage in policy advocacy, and Silicon Valley, where he will focus on technology development. This arrangement was his original proposal. Earlier reports by Fortune had suggested that Michael Kratsios, former U.S. chief technology officer, would assume responsibility for technology policy, while Sacks would provide policy ideas. Sacks's denial is a direct response to these reports. He maintains that his role remains as he initially proposed, with a focus on both policy advocacy and technology development.
