Salesforce fallout: Benioff under fire for ICE outreach as billionaire investor leaves foundation

Salesforce Controversy

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is under fire for reportedly pitching ICE to use Salesforce's AI technology to hire 10,000 new officers and agents.

This controversy led to the resignation of Silicon Valley billionaire Ron Conway from the Salesforce Foundation board.

Conway said he was "shocked and disappointed" by Benioff's remarks.

The issue arose during San Francisco's annual Dreamforce convention, where Benioff also made statements about deploying the National Guard in San Francisco.
