He is a US citizen. Anyway, what's going in the US? Is ICE out on the streets literally snatching up people like those stray dog catchers in old cartoons? I left the US at the start of 2025 and LA streets were free from any ICE activity at the time.
Sacks was born to a Jewish family in Cape Town, South Africa, and emigrated to Tennessee, United States, with his family when he was five.
Sacks is a member of the so-called "PayPal Mafia", a group of founders and early employees of PayPal who went on to found a series of other successful technology companies.
According to a 2024 New York Times article, "Over the last few years, Mr. Sacks, a longtime associate of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, has transformed from a prominent Silicon Valley executive into an unlikely media celebrity for would-be entrepreneurs, especially those leaning right, who listen to his popular All-In podcast.
His family lives on Broadway in Pacific Heights, San Francisco, in an area known as "Billionaire's Row".[78] In June 2024, they hosted a sold-out fundraiser for Donald Trump at their home, with tickets from $50,000 to $300,000 per person.
For his 40th birthday, rented a $125 million-dollar mansion and threw a Marie Antoinette-themed party, called "Let him eat cake".
His "arguments" on the All-In podcast are always purely persuasive/emotional and never substantiated by fact or logic. Most of it parrots GOP talking points and in my opinion he's a major threat to Silicon Valley legitimacy as he seeks to co-opt existing meritocratic institutional structures and impose his political cronyism/favoritism on them. Very dangerous stuff.
