flag Elon Musk urges federal troops in San Francisco over drug crisis, but city leaders reject military intervention despite declining crime.

flag Elon Musk has called for federal troops to be deployed to San Francisco, describing the city’s downtown as a "drug zombie apocalypse" and claiming it is the "only solution" to the opioid crisis. flag His comments follow similar remarks by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who supported using the National Guard amid concerns over crime and police shortages. flag The push comes amid broader political debate over federal intervention in Democratic cities, though San Francisco officials, including Mayor Daniel Lurie, reject military involvement, citing a 30% drop in crime and local law enforcement progress. flag No federal action is expected, and city leaders emphasize that public safety should remain under local control.
