So apparently car dealership owners are incredibly wealthy (they make up a good proportion of the 0.1%), generally quite conservative, and as people who make most of their money by being unnecessary middlemen, give a lot of money to (Republican) politicians to make sure they legislate to maintain that status quo. They also tend to be seriously anti-electric car, but Musk is a personal friend of DeSantis, so… yeah, this makes total sense.
