Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during his 2024 presidential launch that nobody “has made Disney more money than me,” and defended his continued feud with the media giant.

“Nobody probably has made Disney more money than me because they were opened [in Florida] during COVID and they were closed in California,” DeSantis said during a Twitter Spaces discussion with Elon Musk on May 24.
