A recent shift in the corporate law world has brought the usually behind-the-scenes issue into the national spotlight. Elon Musk’s public feud with Delaware over rejected pay packages has led to a wave of companies considering moving their incorporations out of the state, including Dropbox and Meta. This move, seen as a response to court rulings and a desire for more control, has political and economic implications for Delaware. The argument centers around the balance of power between controlling shareholders like Musk and minority shareholders, with one side advocating for founder control and the other highlighting the flaws of such arrangements. The shift in incorporation locations could impact Delaware’s economy, which heavily relies on corporate franchise revenue, and reshape the landscape of corporate law. The ideological charge brought to the issue by Musk and others has put the debate on shareholders’ rights at the forefront of discussions about corporate governance.
