Chamath’s prediction on the Nov. 8, 2024 All-In episode was not just that he wanted David Sacks to be governor of California, but that he would convince Sacks within two years to do it ("within two years I will have convinced him to do it").(happyscribe.com)
As of the current date (Nov. 30, 2025), public records of the 2026 California gubernatorial race list numerous declared candidates, but David Sacks is not among them.(en.wikipedia.org) Instead, Sacks is serving in a federal role as the White House AI and Crypto Czar and co‑chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in the Trump administration, not preparing a gubernatorial campaign.(en.wikipedia.org)
However, the two‑year window Chamath himself referenced runs until roughly November 2026, and it is still at least theoretically possible that Sacks could be persuaded to run for governor (whether in the 2026 race via a late entry or in a later cycle). Because that self‑imposed deadline has not yet passed and there is no definitive evidence that such persuasion is impossible, the prediction cannot yet be judged as either fulfilled or failed.
Given the available evidence and remaining time window, the status of this prediction is too early to call.
