McConaughey spoke to Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff, a close friend, about his activism, the Uvalde school shooting and his political beliefs in a packed room at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater on Tuesday afternoon.

When Benioff asked McConaughey about the 2024 presidential election, the actor did not make any definitive statements on that cycle specifically, but teased his presidential aspirations more broadly.

“Yeah I’ll consider it in the future, I’d be arrogant not to, absolutely I would consider it,” McConaughey said. “If I got into any form of politics I’d be remiss not to also go in as an artist and a storyteller; help put a narrative together. You’re the CEO of a state and a nation, a lot of compartmentalization and choices to be made. They scare me but I’m not afraid of ’em.”
