Elon Musk’s Feud With Delaware May Transform Corporate America

16 min read

Michael Steinberger

Most Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware. The state exercises vast regulatory authority over how publicly traded companies operate. But thanks to Elon Musk, its status as America’s corporate capital is under threat.

Michael Steinberger

When a Delaware court voided a $55 billion pay package that Tesla had awarded Musk, he declared war on the state. He reincorporated Tesla and SpaceX in Texas and urged other companies to follow suit.

Michael Steinberger

Musk tapped into growing discontent among corporate executives who believe that Delaware’s judiciary is applying excessive scrutiny to their actions. A handful of major companies have joined Musk in leaving Delaware.

Michael Steinberger

Many have reincorporated in Texas or Nevada, which are both aggressively courting companies unhappy with Delaware. They have indicated that corporations can expect gentler treatment in their respective jurisdictions.

Michael Steinberger

Critics fear that Delaware, dependent on the revenue that it derives from corporate chartering, is being drawn into a race to the bottom that will result in weaker checks on executive malfeasance.
