DeSantis signed a bill that bans sales of cars direct to consumers in the state of florida for all car manufacturers except- Tesla!

DeSantis has given Tesla and Elon Musk, one of his benefactors, a huge leg up in the Florida market.

What’s good for Tesla ought to be good for all. The consumer gets screwed too.

I don’t like it.

Well that’s stupid.
I don’t understand the reasoning for no direct consumer purchasing at all.

He signed a law banning social media censorship, except for 1 company... Disney. He signed a law allowing sports betting in our to state, while granting 3 decade exclusive rights to one ethnicity, the Seminole tribe. This is nothing new for him.

Edit: Forgot to add the bill he signed that allowed him to run for another office without stepping down

Yup, the same reason Louisiana did away with the inventory tax.

Car dealerships are a quiet bunch of lobbyists, but boy do they lobby

Yup. Two heads of the same snake. We have to choose between crony capitalism with a splash of socialism or gay crony capitalism with a splash of socialism.

While this is a shitty bill, OP is a liar. The carve out is for Electric Car manufacturers to include Rivian, Lucid, etc. Not just Tesla.

This bill was drafted for Car Dealerships' benefit, not manufacturers

How long does Elon wait to donate to his campaign so it isn't completely obvious? Or has that check been cashed already?
