Welcome back to The Best & The Brightest, where today you get to read me and my billionaire-tracking B.F.F. Teddy Schleifer as we report on two facets of the Ron DeSantis insurgency: his money machine whirring to life at the Miami Four Seasons, and his online mercenary troll army crashing Elon Musk’s Twitter Space.
