Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff talked about his investments in space, including SpaceX, in an interview with CNBC’s “Closing Bell” team.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said on Monday that he’s bullish on space, noting that he’s an investor in Elon Musk’s SpaceX along with start-ups Astra, Swarm Technologies, and Planet Labs. But don’t expect Benioff to join Jeff Bezos on a space trip anytime soon. Bezos, who is stepping aside as Amazon CEO in July, said on Monday that he’ll fly on the first passenger flight of his space company Blue Origin, which is expected to launch on July 20. In an interview that aired on CNBC’s “Closing Bell,” Benioff commended Bezos on the announcement. “I think it’s very exciting that he’s willing to basically say, ‘If you want to use my product, I will use it first,'” Benioff said.
