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 chaosāor 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 callsānotably Huang, whose bromance with Trump includes a Saudi Arabia power tripāTrump 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 repsā thoughts, but Trump cryptically said 'Stay tuned!'ābecause why not leave citywide drama dangling? Meanwhile, San Francisco remains Americaās global tech hub, now with bonus federal threat drama.
