Trump Hears Tech Gods, Spurs Pause on SF Federal Troops
In a plot twist worthy of Silicon Valley sitcoms, October 2025 saw President Donald Trump preparing a federal force 'surge' into San Francisco, sparked by concerns over urban chaosâor maybe just bad Yelp reviews. But wait! Enter Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Marc Benioff of Salesforce, tech titans turned peacekeepers, who 'called him up' Wednesday night like middle-school hall monitors. Thanks to these 'great people' and their phone callsânotably Huang, whose bromance with Trump includes a Saudi Arabia power tripâTrump threw San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie a lifeline to 'turn it around.' Lurie, presumably clutching his reusable latte cup, welcomed federal collaboration but drew a hard line: troops equal bad vibes. Benioff, who earlier pushed for National Guard showing up to Dreamforce, later apologized, triggered a VC resignation, and apparently has learned the art of PR CPR. No word yet on Nvidia or Salesforce repsâ thoughts, but Trump cryptically said 'Stay tuned!'âbecause why not leave citywide drama dangling? Meanwhile, San Francisco remains Americaâs global tech hub, now with bonus federal threat drama.

Trump was about to flood San Francisco with federal troops until Jensen Huang and Marc Benioff dialed it down like guardians of tech peace. Turns out the tech bros not only run GPUs and CRM but now also babysit US security decisions.
San Francisco dodges a federal invasion thanks to a late-night call from Nvidia's CEO. If only all major policy decisions were decided over group texts with billionaires.
Marc Benioffâs National Guard endorsement got him fired from the cool kidsâ table, but at least heâs still got Trump on speed dial for damage control.
