President Trump names Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jensen Huang, and others to the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, co-chaired by David Sacks
Zuckerberg, Ellison, Huang and the other appointees gain a formal route to advise the administration on science and technology priorities; Sacks becomes a central coordinator of that input.
The council gives the White House a standing venue to draw directly on leaders from companies central to AI, computing and digital platforms.
Second-order effects
Technology companies outside the council may intensify their own outreach to the administration, particularly around AI investment, chips, energy and data-center policy already discussed with CEOs.
The council’s recommendations could shape which industry concerns receive earlier White House attention, increasing the value of direct executive access relative to broader public consultation.
Third-order effects
If this advisory model persists, US technology policy may be shaped more directly through executive-led forums alongside traditional agency processes and expert panels.
That closer alignment can speed feedback on fast-moving technologies, but it also heightens the importance of clear safeguards around conflicts when advisers’ companies are affected by policy.
The trend: The appointment is part of a broader shift toward direct, executive-level technology industry participation in federal AI, infrastructure and industrial-policy decision-making.

Yeah, letting the tech billionaires make the rules about AI, data centers, and surveillance seems like a great idea. What could go wrong? This corruption is just another slap in the face to all of the working people who stand to lose while corporate CEOs profit.
You can be on the side of Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison & Jensen Huang, worth $551 billion, who are working to replace your job with a robot or you can be on the side of the working class who want to tax the rich & put a moratorium on AI data centers. Which side are you on?
We're delighted to see NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang appointed to this council and to have the opportunity to advance American leadership in AI. America's strength in science and technology depends on a vibrant ecosystem of researchers, developers, and industry working together to
