David Sacks denies reports of conflicts of interest during his tenure as White House AI and cryptocurrency chief

David Sacks, the "czar" of AI and cryptocurrency affairs in the U.S., stated on the X platform that five months ago, the New York Times sent a reporter to fabricate a story about alleged conflicts of interest during his tenure as the White House special envoy for AI and cryptocurrency, throwing out a series of accusations that he has thoroughly refuted.

These accusations include fabricating a dinner with tech company CEOs, falsely promising to facilitate their access to the president, and baselessly claiming that he influenced defense contracts. Sacks noted that every time he refuted an accusation, the New York Times would throw out new ones, causing the report to drag on for five months. Now, the report published by the newspaper contains no substantive content, only irrelevant anecdotes; given the New York Times' apparent disinterest in writing a fair report, he has hired a law firm and made public the letter from the law firm to the New York Times.
