In a plot twist that could only happen in the Bay Area, tech moguls Marc Benioff and Jensen Huang became unlikely heroes in preventing a potential federal “surge” in San Francisco.

The Billionaire Intervention

President Trump was all set to deploy federal agents into the city, but a few phone calls from San Francisco’s tech elite seemed to change his mind. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang reportedly convinced Trump that San Francisco’s future isn’t as doom and gloom as he imagined.

Political Ping Pong

Mayor Daniel Lurie apparently sweet-talked Trump into giving the city a chance to address its challenges, with Trump reluctantly agreeing but warning he’ll be “watching”. The White House press secretary added some dramatic flair, essentially telling San Francisco, “Get your act together, or else”.

The Ongoing Saga

While the immediate threat of federal intervention has subsided, tensions remain high. Federal agents are still stationed at Coast Guard Base Alameda, leaving the door open for potential future actions. Governor Gavin Newsom and City Attorney David Chiu have already prepared legal ammunition, promising to sue if troops are deployed.

Just another day in the wild world of San Francisco politics, where tech billionaires can apparently negotiate with presidents over the city’s fate.
