Hustler Words – In a surprising turn of events, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has seemingly undergone a political metamorphosis, leaving his own PR team scrambling. Known for his liberal stance and philanthropic efforts in San Francisco, Benioff’s recent comments have raised eyebrows across Silicon Valley.
During an expansive interview with The New York Times from his private jet, Benioff expressed his unwavering support for President Trump, a revelation that reportedly caught even his closest advisors off guard. Despite Salesforce’s extensive government contracts, Benioff declared he "fully supported" the President and even suggested deploying National Guard troops to patrol the streets of San Francisco.
He fondly recalled a state dinner at Windsor Castle, where he expressed his gratitude to Trump. Furthermore, he lauded Elon Musk’s efforts to improve government efficiency and claimed to be largely unaware of the controversies surrounding immigration raids and Trump’s attacks on the media.

The interview, lasting nearly an hour, concluded abruptly after Benioff, noticing the expression of his public relations executive, questioned whether his political remarks were "too spicy."
While Benioff’s shift reflects a broader trend of Silicon Valley’s increasing acceptance of the Trump administration, this incident offers a rare glimpse into the extent of this repositioning. The question now looms: will other Bay Area tech leaders follow Benioff’s lead and advocate for federal intervention in their own communities?
