The quote appears verbatim in the supplied Benzinga article (published March 7, 2026), attributed to Marc Benioff speaking to CNBC, and the same wording is repeated in other reports, including AOL/Business Insider syndication and The Times of India. I could not directly access a CNBC transcript, but the sentence is present verbatim in multiple sources and is consistently attributed to Benioff.

Verified. The quote is attributed to Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce), made in a CNBC interview and reported by Benzinga (March 2026). Direct WebFetch returned HTTP 403, but web search confirmed the exact wording: Benioff said "These pronouncements of these mass white collar layoffs: I just do not see it," dismissing AI-driven mass layoff warnings and putting him at odds with Dario Amodei and Vinod Khosla. Author attribution is correct. The vote "for" aligns with statement 389 ("AI will create more jobs than it destroys") — Benioff takes the optimistic side, rejecting the thesis that AI is destroying white-collar jobs en masse. Year 2026 is current.
