David Sacks, the White House's encryption and AI director, criticized the media's erroneous reports of "selling cryptocurrencies" on the X platform. He explained, "Why do some media always want to depict cryptocurrencies as bad? I did not sell cryptocurrencies, but dealt with cryptocurrencies. Obviously, this is not what I wanted to do, but government ethics require it. It is my honor to serve President Trump and the American people." In response, Binance co-founder CZ said that some media always want to get clicks, rather than report based on ethics.
