Marc Benioff Apologizes for National Guard Request

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has issued an apology for his previous call to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco. This comes after a wave of criticism from the city's political and tech leaders, whom he considered allies.

On Friday, Benioff stated, 'Having listened closely to my fellow San Franciscans and our local officials, I do not believe the National Guard is needed to address safety in San Francisco.'

This incident underscores the importance of dialogue with the local community.
