A new tech-friendly governor?
The California governor’s race has been a crowded field without notable frontrunners.
#Newsom had been a long-time friend of the tech industry, hosting Google’s #Page and #Brin as guests at his wedding
and referring to Salesforce chief executive Marc #Benioff as “family”.
His departure appears to have Silicon Valley fretting.#Singleton, from the Chamber of Progress, said Newsom had long recognized “how pivotal the technology industry is in California”.
But then, late last month, Matt #Mahan, a moderate Democrat and the mayor of San Jose, announced his candidacy.
Before Mahan got involved in politics in 2020, he had a career in the tech sector.
He was an undergraduate at Harvard with Zuckerberg,
and in 2014 co-founded a startup with funding from #Conway, #Benioff and Napster co-founder Sean #Parker.Mahan appears to be the savior the tech industry had been searching for.
Since his candidacy announcement just two weeks ago,
⚠️millions have poured into his campaign.According to public records, he’s received donations from several venture capitalists,
along with Roblox CEO David #Baszucki, Y Combinator CEO Garry #Tan, GitHub co-founder Chris #Wanstrath, Cloudkitchen co-founder Diego #Berdakin, and Ring founder #Siminoff.Mahan has even courted donors who helped launch companies known for working with the Trump administration,
including Palantir co-founder Joe #Lonsdale and Anduril co-founder Matt #Grimm and his wife Kimberly Grimm, according to public records.Google’s #Brin has also backed Mahan, maxing out the limit for an individual campaign donation at $78,400.
Several of Mahan’s other tech backers also maxed out their donations.
🔥At this point, Mahan has now raised more than double the two most prominent democrats in the race, ⭐️Eric Swalwell
and ⭐️Katie Porter.As political races and ballot measure campaigns continue to heat up across California in 2026, tech’s influence is only expected to grow.
“It’s going to be a fun session,” Singleton said. That’s for sure.”

#Salesforce Workers Circulate Open Letter Urging CEO #MarcBenioff to Denounce #ICE
The letter comes after #Benioff joked at a company event on Monday that ICE was #monitoring international employees in attendance, sparking immediate backlash.

Tech #billionaires are now shaping the #militarization of American cities
“Friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge,” #Trump wrote
Who are these “friends”? Trump named “great people like [ #Nvidia CEO] Jensen Huang, [ #Salesforce CEO] Marc #Benioff , & others” who told him that “the future of #SanFrancisco is great. They want to give it a ‘shot.’ Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Sat. Stay tuned!”

#Benioff is not sorry.
He is just worried that the stock market might kick his ass hard. -
Yes. More billionaires speaking out is always helpful.
Venture capitalist and Democratic donor Ron Conway has resigned from the Salesforce Foundation board, citing sharp ideological differences with CEO Marc Benioff—especially over Benioff’s support for deploying federal troops to San Francisco and his stance on ICE raids and voting rights. In a blunt email, Conway said he was “shocked and disappointed” by Benioff’s recent comments and what he called Benioff’s detachment from the real-world impact of Trump-era policies. The split highlights growing divides within Silicon Valley’s elite as the tech world navigates its relationships with the Trump administration.

Looks like even VC legends have their breaking points. Ron Conway just exited the Salesforce Foundation board after 10 years, all thanks to some comments from Marc Benioff. Proof that words can indeed move mountains... or at least, board members.
What's the biggest ripple effect you've seen from a single statement in the tech world?

Another reason why we should soak the rich!
Marc Benioff, long seen as San Francisco’s philanthropic tech liberal, has pivoted sharply—now backing President Trump and the idea of deploying National Guard troops in his hometown to fight crime. The Salesforce CEO’s shift mirrors a broader trend of Silicon Valley leaders warming to Trump, often seen as a tactical move to shield their companies from federal threats. With Salesforce heavily reliant on government contracts, Benioff joins peers like Apple’s Tim Cook and OpenAI’s Sam Altman in recalibrating to a Trump-dominated landscape, even as locals brace for possible federal intervention.

"#Salesforce vs. @servicenow.bsky.social : #Benioff Jumps Into #ITSM as #McDermott Targets #CRM"
Cool, should make great new choices for #enterprise #CIO / #CTO buyers. And both segments need real #disruption & #innovation.
I can guess who'll win - but who would you back?

#Constellation is another show that ultimately fails because it takes a cowardly route rather than pushing through to create something unique.
It fails to be deep and meaningful, which it clearly believes itself to be, the last three episodes wasting everything that had been built up before then.
The final shot was the worst possible ending, even for an episode that had already betrayed the main character's nature.
