George Packer: Former Silicon Valley Figures Now Hold Influence in Trump Administration

RUSH EXCERPT:

PACKER: “And now what’s really interesting, Joe, is how having kept their distance on Washington because they really didn’t believe in any role for government in their industry, in technology, they now have kind of captured the Trump Administration. And sacks spent a year as Trump’s AI and crypto advisor. And in that year, he essentially aligned government policy with the wishes of those industries and not with what I would consider more the public interest."
