White House AI and crypto czar
Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we're already sliding toward. [...] America won't win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S.

Quote attributed to David Sacks (White House AI czar), 2026, from his response to Bernie Sanders' AI public-ownership proposal (reported by Benzinga and Fortune, June 2026). The Benzinga source URL returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search independently confirmed both phrases verbatim: "Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we're already sliding toward" and "America won't win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S." Year 2026 current. Author attribution correct. Vote "against" on the statement (frontier AI labs required to contribute equity to a global dividend trust) correctly aligns: Sacks opposes forced public/government equity ownership of AI companies, which he frames as nationalization. Quote is relevant and reflects his opposition to the statement's core proposal.
