Overview

• After telling the New York Times he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to San Francisco, Marc Benioff posted on X that keeping the city safe is the job of city and state leaders.
• Benioff said Dreamforce typically brings about 200 additional law-enforcement professionals for roughly 50,000 attendees and announced an extra $1 million from Salesforce for larger police hiring bonuses.
• San Francisco supervisors and the district attorney rebuked the idea of federal troops, with some officials, including Matt Dorsey and Jackie Fielder, saying they will boycott Dreamforce events.
• Elon Musk amplified support for bringing in the National Guard and criticized downtown conditions, sharing posts on X that described San Francisco as a “drug zombie apocalypse.”
• City officials report falling crime and ongoing recruitment to address a staffing shortfall of several hundred officers, and reporting indicates no National Guard deployment is expected this week.
