“Your obsession with and constant annual threats to move Dreamforce to Las Vegas is ironic, since it is a fact that Las Vegas has a higher rate of violent crime than San Francisco,” Conway wrote. “San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce.”

Benioff has mostly avoided discussing Trump, ICE, H-1B visas, and immigration during Dreamforce this week—Fortune’s Jeremy Kahn was on the scene, and asked Benioff about this directly—but he said Tuesday that he just cares about everyone’s safety.


You can't care about everyone's safety by making money off of the hiring modern day slave catchers.


It’s interesting to consider how leaky and penetrated Salesforce is; holding a table of candidates for deportation agent roles. People who would need to fill out SF-86 and answer whether they’re banned from gun ownership.


'ohana' - to make hiring brown shirts more efficient.


If he wants his newfound conservatism to be taken seriously, words like “ohana” are counterproductive. The goal is to (at last) build investor confidence. Join x, be mean and “edgy”.

Benioff is now in on the tech fascist trend of endorsing lawlessness and violence. I guess he's really needs those government contracts. David Sacks is cheering Benioff on with his militarism.


Salesforce AKA death by modal dialogs.

Benioff needs those sweet army contracts so much he's got to vouch for calling in the guard to SF to glaze Trump. Of course he won't be there. He'll be in his billionaire bunker in Hawaii playing with his 'ohana'.

Benioff and Diddy were business partners on a 'Black Enterprise' venture when Benioff was a DEI fanboy. I guess he's got a lot of Trump bootlicking to do to make up for it.


There will be AI agents building super viruses, actively attacking the power grid, and stealing every dime out of your bank account. All of this will not be done on you behalf.


Yet another hypocritical tech fascist's mask falls. Benioff who has made his fortune by outsourcing jobs to India and passively abusing his employees with his family 'ohana' bullshit now wants to see his money making SF drones at the end of some kid's M4. Funny he didn't mention sending the guard to Hawaii. He is sucking up to Trump because he needs government contracts for his agentic enterprise bullshit, which isn't selling well, to make money. If you needed a reason to sell CRM and tank the stock so Benioff learns to shut his fascist mouth well now you've got one.


85% of Trump's base think this is a bad idea. Trump is not that impervious to public opinion. Especially from his allies. Trump can't escape the laws of political gravity and isn't militarily strong enough to control the country. If he was Congress would have been jailed by now. He will resist and bend the rules as much as he can. But he needs the system to not break do the barrons don't overthrow his ass.


They would’ve said inciting a violent insurrection was bad before he did it too. But once he actively did it they fell in line and continued to back him. They will fall in line when his disobeys a court order.
