During an interview with *Bloomberg,** ***billionaire investor David Sacks confirmed that he is no longer the "AI and Crypto Czar." 

### What's the Scoop:
- **Stepping Down:** David Sacks in no longer the White House Special Advisor for AI and Crypto. Earlier this week, Sacks was appointed co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
- **Unclear Reasoning:** Although Sacks says he completed 130 days as a special government employee (SGE), the exact reasoning behind his departure remains a mystery. While SGEs are [limited](https://www.flra.gov/Ethics_Rules_for_SGE) to working no more than 130 days within any 365-day period, nothing prohibits role extensions or reappointments.

> DAVID SACKS no longer AI and Crypto Czar, he said in an interview with Bloomberg. Sacks ran out of his 130 days as a special government employee. He didn't count the days consecutively, but they were set to end eventually.
