Billionaires, for advisors

Donald Trump has hired a group of Silicon Valley billionaires, including Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle's Larry Ellison and investor Marc Andreessen, to advise the White House on science and technology policy.

They will serve alongside 10 others on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a body that in previous administrations has been comprised largely of academics and engineers with specific expertise. The council will be co-chaired by David Sacks, a Silicon Valley investor who has served as the White House “czar” on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies.

The Trump administration's move will deepen ties between the industry and the White House, which has regularly hosted tech executives for dinners and closed-door discussions, and has consistently pushed policies that are favorable to the sector.

Donations and support

Several of the council members have also made large donations to the president's causes:

Marc Andreessen: Last year he gave $2.5 million to a Trump-linked Super Pac and spent $4.5 million supporting Trump's 2024 reelection campaign.

Fred Ehrsam (Coinbase): Gave $1 million to Trump's inauguration committee last year.

Meta (Zuckerberg): He also donated $1 million for the inauguration.

Other appointed members:

The White House announced that other members appointed on Wednesday include:

Jensen Huang (Nvidia)

Sergey Brin (co-founder of Google)

Safra Catz (Oracle)

David Friedberg (investor and podcaster)

Lisa Su (AMD)

Politics and contradictions

The appointments come as the Trump administration continues to advocate for the tech industry, easing export controls for AI chips, accelerating the construction of data centers and supporting minimal (“light-touch”) regulations.

Last week, a policy framework for AI was published that favors tighter laws to govern the technology and calls for a ban on state-level regulation. The move was welcomed by industry lobbyists, despite polls showing broad public support for tighter regulation, the FT reports.

However, several major tech companies recently criticized the administration for punishing Anthropic, which was labeled a “supply chain risk” after it refused to give the Pentagon unrestricted use of its technology in warfare. Groups representing the sector said the designation is causing “immediate and substantial harm to the tech industry.”
