Neither do I agree with your assumption that "it only becomes an 'election expenditure' when, through the magic of reclassification, the fact that the movie is critical of a political figure makes it classifiable as an in kind contribution."

The "speech" doesn't have to be critical of a political figure. It can be laudatory.

So just to recap,

- Ron DeSantis's boneheaded move will harm both Disney and Florida taxpayers, and
- corporations have long enjoyed the freedom to express opinions on matters of public interest.
