REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - Trump Nixes Bessent As AI Czar, Now the Hunt Continues
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the big coming thing, the next stage in the Information Revolution, and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. It's probably a good idea for the government to stay abreast of developments of these and other new, possibly game-changing technology, like cryptocurrency. President Trump did appoint a "cryptocurrency czar" in December of 2024, that being one David Sacks, who also carried the title of "AI Czar." But Sacks, like Elon Musk, was a "special government employee," and left his position in March of 2026.
