Billionaire Marc Benioff apologizes for saying troops should be deployed to San Francisco

Salesforce CEO and Time owner Marc Benioff apologized Friday for backing Donald Trump’s idea of sending National Guard troops to San Francisco, saying after listening to residents and local officials he no longer believes the Guard is needed. He said his earlier remarks stemmed from caution around Dreamforce. The support, voiced to the New York Times, drew backlash and legal concerns over deploying troops domestically. Benioff’s reversal came as Trump floated federal action in the city; California leaders countered with falling crime statistics and said local officials had safety under control.
