TL;DR Summary

Disney CEO Bob Iger criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his "anti-business" actions amid an ongoing dispute over the company's political positions and self-governing status in the state. Iger defended Disney's right to freedom of speech and expressed concern about how tensions with DeSantis could impact the state. The dispute began when Disney opposed Florida's Don't Say Gay legislation, leading DeSantis to try to strip the company's self-governing status. Iger noted that Disney is the largest taxpayer in Florida and employs over 75,000 workers, and any action that thwarts those efforts sounds anti-business and anti-Florida.
