Ron DeSantis gets court win over Disney

Published

on

A Florida judge has ruled in favor of Governor Ron DeSantis in a dispute with Walt Disney, refusing to dismiss a lawsuit brought by an oversight district.

This decision could potentially complicate Disney’s own case against DeSantis, as the feud between the entertainment giant and the governor has been ongoing for a year.

The oversight district’s lawsuit aims to nullify “backroom deals” that were previously made with Disney by a prior district board earlier in the year. If these deals are invalidated, it could significantly weaken Disney’s federal case against DeSantis.

In response to the ruling, a Disney spokesperson expressed confidence in their federal lawsuit, stating that the decision would not affect their efforts to protect their constitutional rights.

The conflict between Disney and DeSantis began when Disney criticized a Florida law prohibiting discussions about sexuality and gender identity with younger students. DeSantis, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, has been vocal in his criticism of “woke Disney.”

To counter Disney’s stance, DeSantis rallied lawmakers to pass bills that restructured the oversight district as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and shifted control of the board from Disney to the governor. Additionally, previous agreements that Disney had with the prior board were retroactively nullified.

In April, Disney filed its federal lawsuit against DeSantis, claiming that the governor had misused the state government to retaliate against the company for opposing the classroom gender discussion law. The company sought to prevent the state from enforcing laws targeting them and to reinstate the development agreements they had with the previous district board.

Despite this recent ruling against them, Disney remains resolute in their determination to prevail in both the state and federal cases. The oversight district has not provided any comments regarding the judge’s decision.

The ongoing legal battle between Disney and DeSantis highlights the complex intersection of politics and corporate interests, and its outcome could have significant implications for both parties involved.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
