Multi-billionaire brings foreign employees to the US, threatens them with ICE

I’m starting to think that as a class billionaires are are rancid dicks who should be introduced to a guillotine, tout de suite.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff ‘joked’ with employees who had traveled to the United States for a Salesforce all-hands meeting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were in the building keeping tabs on them, 404 Media has learned.

Multiple employees told 404 Media about the joke, and 404 Media obtained internal Slack chats showing employees discussing it. Benioff was giving the opening keynote at the Salesforce CKO event in Las Vegas on Tuesday, which is a major Salesforce meeting ‘kicking off’ its strategy for the year. In his keynote, Benioff thanked international employees for traveling to the United States for the meeting, and asked them to stand. Benioff then said that ICE agents were in the building to keep tabs on them.

The company deleted that comment from the internal recording of the event, perhaps in honor of the way enforcement agencies accidentally on purpose misplace incriminating recordings and other data.

A letter from Salesforce employees urging the Steve Bannon impersonating CEO to block ICE was already in circulation before the threat, but I imagine it will pick up a few more signatures as a result.

Please stay on topic in the comments.
