qwant news | Donald Trump Names Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg To Tech Advisory Council

Donald Trump has announced the inaugural slate of members for the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a body created by an executive order in January to bring together the nation’s leading experts in science and technology. Among the first appointees are Oracle co‑founder Larry Ellison, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, venture‑capitalist Marc Andreessen, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The council is intended to advise the president on how to strengthen American leadership in emerging technologies.

The list also includes Google co‑founder Sergey Brin, Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, Oracle executive vice chair Safra Catz, Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte, Coinbase co‑founder Fred Ehrsam, physicist John Martinis, Commonwealth Fusion Systems CEO Bob Mumgaard, and AMD CEO Lisa Su. Notably absent is Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, who was once a major donor and adviser to Trump but fell out with the administration after being removed from the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. Other figures mentioned in the coverage include David Ellison’s Paramount, which is pursuing a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, and a California jury verdict finding Meta and Google liable for creating addictive products that harm minors.

The White House says the council, which could eventually number up to 24 members, will be chaired by venture capitalist David Sacks and White House Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios. Its mandate is to focus on the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies, ensuring that the American workforce can thrive in what officials describe as a “Golden Age of Innovation.”

Trump staffs #PCAST, the President’s Council of Advisors on #Science and #Technology with non-scientists
The list of appointees was finally released on Wednesday, and it’s notable for its almost complete absence of #scientists. PCAST is heavily tilted toward extremely wealthy technology figures. These include investor #MarcAndreessen, Google’s #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell of Dell, #LarryEllison of Oracle, #JensenHuang of NVIDIA, #LisaSu of AMD, and #MarkZuckerberg of Meta.
