David Sacks (entrepreneur)

David Sacks is what happens when a college debate club villain gets equity. This guy literally co-wrote The Diversity Myth in college with Peter Thiel, then spent the next few decades proving it wasn’t satire. Now he’s a tech oligarch cosplaying as a statesman, popping up around government and campaigns like a venture-funded shadow secretary of takes, all while investing in the very chaos he pundits about. It’s like watching someone commentate a fire while quietly owning the match factory. He talks conflict of interest like it’s theory, not his LinkedIn. David’s whole brand is screaming about “elite capture” from inside the VIP lounge, then acting shocked people don’t want policy designed by a podcast side character who still thinks his sophomore-year manifesto was a mic drop.
