How does salesforce have that much to spend? Like they are big, but this is a lot of money.

Spoken like someone that’s never seen the Salesforce bill of even a small company. Absurdly high

They had almost $9 billion in cash on hand at the end of April 2026. And net income of $2 billion. So they afforded it pretty easily.
