Meet David Sacks, the friend of Elon Musk who could play kingmaker for Ron DeSantis
Summary
Khannas office didnt make him available for an interview, but the lawmaker said in a statement to CNBC that hes aligned with Sacks on "stopping defense contractor price gouging and defending Americans First Amendment rights." After leaving PayPal, he founded enterprise collaboration platform Yammer that Microsoft acquired in 2012 for $1.2 billion, then served as the CEO of human resources startup Zenefits during a troubled time for that company. Last year, Sacks launched a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group called Purple Action Inc. that "would seek to influence the world of politics and policy," Puck reported. In the shadow of the valley Sacks moderated the Twitter Spaces event in May featuring Musk and DeSantis as the Florida governor officially announced his run for president. Calacanis, a co-host on the podcast, suggested during the episode that Sacks donations to back DeSantis should help the group secure an interview with the Florida governor.
