AN INSURRECTION is erupting INSIDE Salesforce as a SHOCKING 1,400+ employees have declared WAR on their own CEO, Marc Benioff, over his alleged DARK PACT with the U.S. government. In a BOMBSHELL internal letter, workers accuse the tech titan of actively building AI tools to turbocharge ICE—the same agency whose agents have KILLED American citizens on U.S. soil. This is not a protest; it is a MUTINY against a company now potentially complicit in state violence.
The documents reveal a HORRIFYING proposal: Salesforce pitched itself as the “ideal platform” to help ICE hire 10,000 new agents “expeditiously.” Employees are now screaming that their own code could be used to supercharge an agency they call a threat to “constitutional rights and the safety of our communities.” Benioff’s TONE-DEAF joke about ICE surveilling his own employees in Las Vegas only poured gasoline on the fire, exposing a CEO seemingly CAVORTING with power while his workforce lives in fear.
This scandal peels back the curtain on a WIDER CONSPIRACY. Benioff has been photographed cozying up to Trump’s inner circle, including a White House dinner and a chummy chat with the president’s AI czar. His company offered DEEP DISCOUNTS to federal agencies, all while the stock plummeted—suggesting this ICE deal may be a desperate gambit for growth. Is Benioff selling Silicon Valley’s soul to salvage his failing empire?
The letter demands IMMEDIATE transparency and a total halt to all ICE work, but the damage may already be done. When the tools you build to connect the world are weaponized to hunt and recruit, can you ever wash your hands clean? THE LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED, and every tech worker must now ask: Are you coding for progress, or for the patrol? The machines are being taught to oppress, and the architects are in the room next door.
