Was it a veto proof thing from his legislature?

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.

Gee, commercial laws that benefit one player in a competitive market doesn't sound like equal treatment under the law.

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


About as long as unions take to donate to Bidens. Hilarious when you attempt to play the moral argument.

I've soured on Desantis, but the moral outrage from people that voted for a vegetable controlled by a cabal is absolutely comical. It has been proven multiple times that federal agencies and private companies shielded Biden during the last election, yet somehow this is worse.

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 generous helping of socialism.

He also said “Florida is open for all, EXCEPT people from Louisiana”

How about you actually provide a link to the bill or at least an article.

ETA. A simple search proves you’re fricking not telling the entire truth. Go figure

Well that’s stupid. I don’t understand the reasoning for no direct consumer purchasing at all.
It takes away 1,000s of jobs in the state

No saying I agree, but that is the reasoning

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.


I thought DeSantis was a “free” Market believer…. Shame

It's multifold. The dealerships make a profit selling cars. they clearly want to protect that interest. Additionally, think about all of the people you deal with and see working in a dealership when you buy a car. They would virtually all be out of a job if the other manufacturers went to the Tesla method.

Well what do you suggest? Re-elect the cadaver, or maybe Gavin Newsome?

No thanks.

I heard that he WILL allow direct to consumer sales from Northrup, Raytheon, and Lockheed in case you wanted to get your hands on some cruise missiles.

He's also probably jonesing to send your kids off to Bahrain or Lima or some shite to go to war with someone. Those big defense contractor donations don't roll in with no strings attached.

Desantis just vetoed $2 million for a zoo/aquarium because the place wouldn't let one of his political buddies campaign there.

Everything he does is personal.

I was one downvoted to shreds for calling him a dictator. Good to see a few people start to open their eyes a bit.

Do any of the manufacturers besides the exempt ones allow direct purchase?
