so I just found out that David Sacks, the Trump administration’s A. I. and crypto czar, is lowkey making bank off his own policies (yes, really).
The Tea ☕
they really said ‘hold my coffee’ and made this guy in charge of A. I. and crypto, and now he’s using that power to help his Silicon Valley friends and his own tech investments (I mean, who wouldn’t, right?
it’s like he’s the main character in a movie where the plot is ‘how much money can I make off my government job’
anyway, Sacks has been helping formulate policies that aid his friends and investments, which is lowkey a whole thing and I’m not okay
Why This Matters (Or Doesn’t) 👀
the people who actually know things are saying that this is a major conflict of interest, and it’s not just a little sus, it’s a whole lot sus
I mean, can you imagine if you were in charge of, like, the food industry, and you just so happened to own a bunch of restaurants?
that’s basically what’s happening here, but with tech and crypto instead of food
The Vibe Check 💅
all I can say is that this is giving me major ‘rent free’ vibes - like, Sacks is just living his best life, making money off his government job, and we’re all just over here paying attention
anyway, that’s the tea for today, folks - stay woke, and try not to get too delulu about the state of our government 🤯
L/W, I guess
