"Nobody Has Made Disney More Money than Me," DeSantis Claims – Inside the Magic
After some technical difficulties, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his bid for the 2024 United States presidential campaign during a Twitter Space with Elon Musk on Wednesday. DeSantis opened the floor for questions after giving a speech about the importance of free speech and American freedom. Of course, the moderator quickly highlighted his battle against Walt Disney World Resort.
DeSantis touted defeating the company, passing the Parental Right In Education Act despite former Disney CEO Bob Chapek”s fierce opposition to the anti-LGBTQIA+ law known as “Don”t Say Gay.” He accused The Walt Disney Company of “jamming” inappropriate ideology into children.
“We did, as you say, win on the issue,” DeSantis said. “But, what happened was Disney”s posturing, some of the other statements that their executives were making, kind of the corporate culture, had really been outed as trying to inject matters of sex into the programming for the youth.”
When asked about the now-canceled Walt Disney Imagineering move to Lake Nona, Florida, DeSantis told Musk that it had nothing to do with the fallout of “Don”t Say Gay” and the Reedy Creek conflict.
“I”m assuming if they were in better financial shape and they saw the project was lucrative, they would”ve gone forward with it,” he said. “But I think clearly they”ve had some problems with their stock price and a lot of other issues.”
Despite the conflict, DeSantis maintained that he had done more for The Walt Disney Company than anyone else.
“Nobody probably has made Disney more money than me because they were open during Covid and they were closed in California,” he concluded. “That went on for many, many months, where literally I had all the theme parks in Florida open in 2020. People are going. It”s safe. They”re having fun… We were, I think, a much better place to be doing business.”
