David Sacks, the former special government employee and White House AI Czar, has resigned his position, moving to an advisory council role with President Trump. His exit comes amid controversy over his aggressive policy-making, which alienated key voters and stalled potential legislative wins.

In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Sacks revealed that he has 'used up that time' and will now focus on co-chairing the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). The move was prompted by questions about his extended tenure in a role meant to be limited to 130 days.

Michael Kratsios, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, will join Sacks as co-chair. Tech executives like Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang are also part of the new advisory council appointments. This reshuffle signals a shift in the administration’s approach to technology policy.

Despite his powerful position, Sacks faced criticism for steering the Trump administration into unpopular political battles. His attempt at a blanket ban on AI state laws was met with resistance from Republican governors and MAGA supporters, complicating other potential legislative victories.

In a podcast interview, Sacks suggested that President Trump needed to find an 'off-ramp' from his war with Iran, drawing criticism within Trumpworld. As the administration continues to navigate these challenges, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact future policy decisions.
