Marc Benioff has long been San Francisco&#8217;s liberal-leaning billionaire, the tech executive who funded homeless services, donated to the city&#8217;s public schools, and hosted Hillary Clinton fundraisers.
But in a new, wide-ranging phone interview with the New York Times from his private plane, Benioff revealed a political transformation that seemed to surprise even his own communications team, despite that Salesforce has hundreds of contracts with the federal government.
The Salesforce founder declared he &#8220;fully supported&#8221; President Trump and thought National Guard troops should patrol San Francisco streets. He gushed about sitting across from Trump at a Windsor Castle state dinner, telling the president &#8220;how grateful I am for everything he&#8217;s doing.&#8221; He praised Elon Musk&#8217;s government efficiency efforts and said he hadn&#8217;t closely followed news about immigration raids or Trump&#8217;s attacks on the media.
The 50-minute conversation reportedly ended after Benioff turned to his public relations executive, apparently noticing her expression. &#8220;What about the political questions?&#8221; he could be heard asking. &#8220;Too spicy?&#8221;Though Benioff&#8217;s shift mirrors Silicon Valley&#8217;s broader accommodation of Trump, the exchange offered a rare glimpse of just how far that repositioning can go. The question now: will other Bay Area tech CEOs follow Benioff&#8217;s lead and call for federal troops in their own backyard?
