San Francisco’s tech drama just got spicy AF. 🌶️
In a jaw-dropping takedown that’s got the tech world buzzing, billionaire Ron Conway absolutely eviscerated his longtime friend Marc Benioff over some seriously questionable political takes. The Salesforce CEO recently made waves by seemingly endorsing Donald Trump’s authoritarian tactics, and Conway was NOT having it.
The Political Tea
Benioff, who used to be a major Democratic donor, apparently told The New York Times that he thinks Trump is “doing a great job” - a statement that’s about as welcome in the Bay Area as a tech bro at a union meeting. Conway’s response? A scathing email that basically said, “I don’t even know you anymore”.
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Conway called out Benioff’s “willful ignorance” about ICE raids and his casual comments about bringing the National Guard into San Francisco. The kicker? Benioff doesn’t even live in SF anymore, having relocated to Hawaii while still feeling entitled to critique the city.
The Cold Hard Truth
What’s really going on? It looks like another tech exec prioritizing corporate contracts over actual human rights. Conway’s message is clear: selling out your principles for government software deals is not a good look. The tech world is watching, and they are NOT impressed.
In true Bay Area fashion, this tech breakup is messier than a kombucha spill at a meditation retreat.
