Salesforce CEO Backs Trump, Calls for National Guard in San Francisco
-

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff shocked many during a New York Times interview, declaring support for President Trump and suggesting National Guard troops patrol San Francisco.
Benioff, long known for progressive philanthropy in the Bay Area, praised Trump’s leadership, Elon Musk’s government efficiency, and admitted he hadn’t followed immigration raid news. The surprise remarks reportedly caught his own PR executive off guard during the call.
The shift highlights a broader trend of Silicon Valley leaders warming to Trump. But Benioff’s comments raise a new question: will other tech CEOs follow his call for federal troops in their hometowns?
