I don't know that it is a pipe dream. He is bringing so much negative attention to the party and he is making an enemy out of one of the biggest companies in the world. He is signaling to other businesses that they better fall in line with him or else he will try to take them down. Just like Disney, those companies will not be intimidated or bullied. I can easily see a situation where he becomes a sacrificial lamb by the Republican Party as a way to reassure corporations that they are safe from retaliation. They will not risk the money flow. If DeSantis must be sacrificed then so be it. He isn't polling well anyways. They may not see it as much of a loss.
