Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, has made headlines by advocating for the National Guard to patrol the streets of San Francisco, a statement that caught even his public relations team off guard. In a phone interview with the New York Times, Benioff expressed his support for President Trump and praised his administration's efforts, including those of Elon Musk. His comments reflect a significant political transformation for the tech executive, who has historically been associated with liberal causes in the Bay Area. The conversation ended with Benioff questioning his PR executive about the appropriateness of discussing political issues, indicating a potential internal conflict regarding his public image. This shift in Benioff's stance mirrors a broader trend among Silicon Valley leaders who are increasingly accommodating to conservative politics. The implications of his remarks raise questions about whether other tech CEOs will adopt similar positions regarding federal involvement in local governance.
