"An excerpt of the recording viewed by Business Insider appears to show a jump cut during the introduction of Benioff's speech, where the frame switches to a view of the audience, and then Benioff appears on the opposite side of the stage. Several employees who heard the remarks told Business Insider that Benioff asked people in the audience to stand if they came from outside the US, and then apparently joked that ICE agents were in the back room."
"Salesforce hasn't responded to multiple requests about Benioff's comments and did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story. Salesforce executives, including Slack's new general manager, addressed Benioff's jokes. Slack general manager Rob Seaman wrote in an internal Slack message viewed by Business Insider: "I cannot defend or explain them. They do not align with my personal values and I know this to be the case for many of you as well.""
