SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Tesla CEO and former Bay Area resident Elon Musk launched a social media attack against San Francisco this weekend after Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff told the New York Times that he wants President Donald Trump to send the National Guard to San Francisco.

Musk too X’s post has been answeredwho opposed the deployment of the National Guard in the city and called for tougher judges.

“to [non-governmental organizations] “Funded by the Benioff tax, drug dealers are a feature, not a bug,” Musk wrote. “NGOs get roughly $1 million for each drug zombie they ‘run.’” So their incentives are enormous to keep drug dealers in business, otherwise their herd of drug zombies will leave. You may have noticed how easily zombies cleared drugs from San Francisco when President Xi came to town. Doesn’t it seem strange that there weren’t any drug zombies in San Francisco when he visited? zero.”

Later, Musk reposted Userand it seems to agree with the “💯” emoji.

“Forget the cable cars and sourdough” Post X reads. “San Francisco has a new name: America’s Biggest Open-Air Drug Market. Streets once teeming with tech bros are now teeming with overdoses, crime scenes, and mayhem. Cops are outnumbered, drug dealers show up like a 9 to 5, and overdose deaths continue to rise. Meanwhile, city leaders say everything is ‘under control,’ which sounds a lot like ‘please don’t Looking out.” So here’s the dilemma: send in troops, or keep pretending the city is okay while people die on the sidewalks? Time is running out in San Francisco… and excuses.

“Public safety is and always will be the number one priority of our administration,” Lutvak told KRON4. “Mayor Lowry launched his plan to rebuild the ranks in May to bring our police staffing to the expert-recommended goal of 2,000 officers. For the first time in nearly a decade, San Francisco is seeing net gains in both police officers and sheriff’s deputies. Crime is down nearly 30% citywide and at its lowest levels in decades. We are moving in the right direction and will continue to prioritize safety and staffing while San Francisco law enforcement works every day to keep our city safe.”
