Elon Musk Wants to Reincorporate , Tesla in Texas.
On Jan. 31, a Delaware judge ruled that Musk cannot receive a $56 billion pay package that Tesla granted to him in 2018, CNBC reports. .
The ruling was largely due to the fact that Musk was in control of the board of directors when he received the package.
Musk disagreed with the ruling,
taking to X to say, "Never incorporate
your company in the state of Delaware.".
The Tesla CEO later posed a question
to the public, asking if the company should change its state of incorporation.
It is not yet known when the
shareholder vote will take place.
Columbia Law School professor Eric Talley
told CNBC that Texas makes sense for Tesla.
In addition to its physical headquarters
being there, the state is more lenient about paying CEOs large sums of money.
If reincorporated in Texas, the board could potentially choose to award Musk a "gratitude" bonus, Talley said.
However, the move could be challenged by shareholders who view the change as "a choice made for Musk-selfish reasons," according to Talley

Elon Musk Is Ordered to Give Up , Tesla Pay Worth Billions.
On Jan. 30, a judge in Delaware ruled that the
Tesla CEO must forfeit a 2018 bonus agreement worth up to $55.8 billion, 'The Hill' reports. .
Musk and Tesla were sued by shareholders after the bonus package was announced.
The shareholders claimed that the
bonus was so large because Musk controlled the board, which awarded it to him.
According to Chancery Judge Kathaleen McCormick, the bonus package was over 250 times bigger than average executive pay at the time, .
effectively making it the
largest bonus grant in the history of
American private business, 'The Hill' reports. .
The judge referred to the method of building the bonus agreement as "deeply flawed" considering Musk's "enormous influence" over the board. .
According to business analysts, the ruling to have
the bonus agreement rescinded could strip Musk
of his title as the richest person in the world. .
Musk took to X to condemn the ruling. .

Former President Donald Trump has been barred from appearing on the Illinois Republican presidential primary ballot by a state judge. Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter made the ruling on Wednesday, citing Trump's role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol. The judge sided with Illinois voters who argued that the former president violated the anti-insurrection clause of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, thus disqualifying him from the state's upcoming primary and general elections.
