Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he returned nearly $500 million to the U.S. Treasury because the money had "too many strings attached."

The two-term Republican governor mentioned he'd recently met with Elon Musk and the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency about $330 million that was allocated for Florida projects. He also said the grant would have required the state to check tailpipe emissions, something that DeSantis said he would never do.
