Elon Musk has backed the deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, claiming in a gung-ho post that it is “the only solution” to the city’s drug problem. Musk, who spearheaded mass layoffs through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency before he exited the White House in May, said downtown San Francisco is “a drug zombie apocalypse.”

His remarks follow his departure from the Trump administration following a public feud with President Donald Trump and allegations that Musk himself was using drugs when he was funneling millions into the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign. He denied the allegations and said they were “lies.”

As the president continues to target Democratic strongholds and is currently locked in a court battle over sending troops into Chicago and Portland, attention has turned to the bohemian California city following recent comments by Marc Benioff, the CEO of software giant Salesforce.

In an interview published Friday, the San Francisco-native told The New York Times that he supported sending in federal troops to help tackle crime.

1. Shall they also deal with Ketamine abusers?

Just saying.

[James48]

2. Elon is a walking drug zombie apocalypse

[Lovie777]

3. GQP should think of Portland................

triple event.

[AZJonnie]

4. Not only is that clearly NOT "the only solution", it is, in fact, an UNLAWFUL NON-SOLUTION

9. I'm pretty sure it was referring to Benioff, who was named in the immediately preceding sentence

Benioff was in fact born in San Francisco.

[AZJonnie]

13. Oh, okay I misread, thanks BDLP :)

These comments are sure to make Salesforce even MORE beloved in SF than it already is!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. It's modern style of web media to use pompous long sentences & put each one its own paragraph like a 7th grader. . . nt

[JT45242]

5. They should start with Ketamine users in tech industries...just saying

Don't care where...don't care how...instead of raging against the poor -- unless they are mostly white (looking at you meth heads) -- let's gp after the uber rich drug users

Ketamine, cocaine -- let's start there. Make those penalties the same as crack cocaine. Just saying

Let Mango Mussolini be really tough on crime and go after people who are misusing Adderol and other ADHD stimulants.

26. Or Trump's little cokehead, Don Jr

[usonian]

6. Benioff just backed down from the same.

https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/13/marc_benioffs_new_dream_force/

Deport Musk now.

[groundloop]

7. I'm sure Elmo has a financial gain in mind

I'm not up on his business dealing, but I have to wonder if he has a business rival in San Francisco that he hopes to disrupt, or now has a stake in a private prison company.

In any case, FUCK OFF ELOON.

12. Twitter's HQ was there when he bought it

and stuck the big "X" on the roof of the building after he bought the company.



In a drug-fueled rage, he eventually decided to move the "X" HQ to TX.

But then I just spotted this - Elon Musk Comes Crawling Back to the Bay Area, Seeking New Office Space for Neuralink and xAI

[travelingthrulife]

25. Crap. I was hoping he would just stay in Texas. We have regulations in CA.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. That's rich coming from the world's richest drug abuser. . . . . nt

[Harker]

10. They made him take the big, obnoxious, flashing X down.

Now they must be made to suffer!

[synni]

11. The Ketamine kid objecting to drugs?

[AZJonnie]

16. I'd imagine he objects to poor/homeless people using illegal drugs

If you're rich, you've earned the privilege of taking whatever drugs you want to. Just call Dr. Robert Feelgood, he'll set ya up.

[Rebl2]

15. Just saw

On a you tube show this morning hosts talking about how great San Francisco is and they wish people would quit saying nasty things about it. By the way it was a cooking show.

[AZJonnie]

17. "The Only Solution", "The Final Solution"

Six of one, half dozen of the other, eh Eloon?

[Clouds Passing]

18. War on drugs goes to K-elon. He's so full of them

[tonekat]

19. He "demands"?

Remind me what office he holds?

Oh, that's right, trumpy donor and brown nose.

[Cheezoholic]

20. Tech Bros wanting free protection from the evil basement class that refuses to acknowledge their superiority complex n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Ketamine addict says what?

Deport his racist ass back to South Africa.

[flvegan]

22. A decent human with billionaire means would offer to fund treatment centers to solve the issue.

You know, rather than demanding someone call in the military to unleash some pathetic form of violent revenge for just existing.

But then, Elon is far from decent. Asshole.

Didn't he visit Little Epstein Island (Pedo Island)? Wonder what he was doing there. Release the Epstein files!

[IcyPeas]

23. Whatever became of this?

[travelingthrulife]

24. Is this for real? Guy is always higher than a kite.

Deport illegal immigrant Musk.

[Endlessmike56]

27. He wants access to the evidence room
