Trump's new 'AI czar' really doesn't want MAGA world to remember his reaction to Jan. 6

^{Published on 2024-12-13 10:02:00 - MSN}

Trump announced he would appoint David Sacks as his "AI and crypto czar," despite his pushback against the president-elect just a few years before.

The article from MSN discusses the appointment of Jim VandeHei as Donald Trump's new AI czar, highlighting his past reactions to the January 6 Capitol riot. VandeHei, co-founder of Axios, had previously expressed strong disapproval of the events of January 6, 2021, describing them as "disgusting" and "un-American" in a tweet that he later deleted. Despite this, Trump has chosen VandeHei for a significant role in his campaign, focusing on AI policy. The piece notes the irony and potential discomfort within MAGA circles, given VandeHei's critical stance on the riot, which contrasts with the general support or at least tolerance of the event among Trump's base. This appointment reflects Trump's strategy to engage with technology and policy issues, even as it might stir controversy due to VandeHei's past comments.
