David Sacks defended President Donald Trump’s White House Accord on Super Intelligence against criticism from Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Bernie Sanders, saying independent audits, board oversight and existing Federal Trade Commission and securities laws could make the voluntary framework more consequential than its label suggests. Atreides Management CIO Gavin Baker said auditors’ reports to independent board committees could expose directors to fiduciary and legal risks if serious safety findings were ignored, with potential implications for directors-and-officers insurance. Trump unveiled the accord after meeting major technology executives, describing it as morally binding and calling for stronger internal controls, third-party audits and board-level oversight. The initiative reportedly grew from discussions involving Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with Zuckerberg circulating a draft before the meeting. Khanna has argued that the pact lacks penalties and a timeline, while Sanders questioned whether wealthy technology executives should regulate an industry in which they have substantial financial interests. Meta shares closed at $725.93 and rose 0.12% to $726.77 after hours on Thursday.
