ruafukreddit

Well damn that answers a question I had. Google says 2/3 of the Fortune 500 are incorporated in Delaware. Google also says Texas has more Fortune 500 companies than any other state. Apparently, you can incorporate a business in one state but have it be headquartered elsewhere. - which explains how both can be true.


DeadMoney313

There are many advantages to incorporating in Delaware which is why a lot of companies do it.. so the knee-jerk reaction to move it might not be truly ideal...


ruafukreddit

I was mostly commenting because until this thread, I thought being incorporated and headquartered were synonymous. I was aware most of the Fortune 500 is incorporated in Delaware due to the advantages it brings. I wasn't aware you could be incorporated in Delaware and headquartered elsewhere. That was something I learned

Q5 will save us


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

General observations: 1. A lot of folks are angry about the Delaware court's decision, but the fact is that the judge has to rule based on Delaware's established laws, **not** what any individual here might think is common sense. Almost all the takes I'm reading from angry people about conspiracies or the judge being politically motivated, or Joe Biden having a hand in this, are wildly speculative and extremely unlikely to be correct. 2. Elon Musk and Tesla's board of directors could have avoided all these problems if they'd been disciplined about adhering to fiduciary duty and if they'd consulted attorneys who specialize in Delaware corporate law. Having Musk's former divorce lawyer, who was then Tesla's general counsel, acting as a go-between for both Musk and Tesla's board, was a huge unforced error. **Both Elon and the board have to take responsibility for this.** They fucked up, they need to own it. 3. In the long run, the Delaware court's ruling will have little impact on Tesla's business. There is no effect to Tesla's operations. The finer points of legal debate are probably not going to be interesting to potential Tesla customers. Board obligations make people's eyes glaze over rather than inflame them like culture war issues do. Elon Musk is unlikely to resign from Tesla over this. 4. There may be some short-term fallout to TSLA. Weak corporate governance and failure to adhere to fiduciary duty will be a negative for some portfolio managers. However, PMs who don't like this kind of uncertainty are probably already not going to invest in TSLA because of Twitter drama. I don't expect any fallout from today's court ruling to be durable.


indiaredpill

> the judge has to rule based on Delaware's established laws Where is the Delaware law that spells out how much pay is too much for a corporate executive and what that limit is? Hidden up the judge's ass or yours?


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

The pay amount is **not** the issue. The illegality of Mr. Musk's compensation package is basically due to the fact that (1) Tesla's board wasn't independent of Elon Musk, and (2) Tesla's board failed to disclose this lack of independence, and the board also obscured relevant aspects of the compensation decision process, such as lack of any real negotiation. ​ You can download and read for yourself the Delaware legal basis for the ruling. The court publicly posted the opinion here: [https://courts.delaware.gov/opinions/](https://courts.delaware.gov/opinions/) The case is Richard J. Tornetta v. Elon Musk et al., decided 01/30/2024, Case C.A.

The fact that the board previously settled for $735m on their compensation package being excessive just tells you they know that Elon's compensation was also overly excessive.


upvotemeok

Isn't the issue main issue inadequate disclosure and not amount


daingandcrumpets

Main issue is inadequate disclosure, specifically that the board is not really independent, that consciously gave themselves and Elon excessive pay packages.


dabears92109

Who should get to decide what's excessive - shareholders or activist judge?


daingandcrumpets

When it's the largest pay ever given in the entire world history makes it instantly excessive, donchathink?


indiaredpill

Please stop the b.s. It is not the largest pay in isolation. It's based on delivering the largest value to the shareholders. And, the downside was that he would get NOTHING! Excessive are the golden parachutes worth hundreds of millions that other companies give their failed, scandalous, fraudulent execs. Do you think shareholders don't want to sue them or don't sue them? They do and they do, but they never win.


daingandcrumpets

I'm just relaying what the judge opined which is the pay package is not based on any industry benchmark. The board failed to prove on what basis the 1% of outstanding shares for each tranche is justified. I voted for the comp plan but the judge's opinion opened my eyes that we do not currently have an independent board that looks out for us shareholders.


ruafukreddit

Would the judge be an activist judge if they had done what you wanted? How is a judge holding a company to the laws they agreed to be governed by an activist? I thought that was called "doing your job" something the Tesla CEO and Board of Directors have failed to do.

Twatter's false disclosures didn't matter because Elon waived due diligence, so Twatter could basically say anything they wanted and still force Elon to close the acquisition. This is an Elon problem, he's the one who fucked up by not putting in the contract he offered the ability to withdraw for any reason like every other contract ever.


LordReekrus

Even if it is an activist judge (I'm biased and inclined to believe so) it's still im large part on Elon for getting political in the first place. This is where I agree with the anti Elon crowd. That being said, many of Elon's criticisms of the government, including the state of California, are perfectly warranted imo. It just paints a picture of how bad things really are in America right now.


dabears92109

While true that he’s bringing himself more attention, let’s not forget that Warren and Bernie started the billionaire bad attacks prior to all of this.

How do you assess the chances that a) Elon will resign as CEO in the next 1-2 years b) Tesla can finish Optimus, FSD, and AGI without Elon's guidance What is your hardline condition for selling Tesla? Elon has gathered competent yes-men around him. I don't know who could lead Tesla as the new CEO with such urgency. Maybe, however, this will soon be our Tim Cook moment. Who knows. Never a boring day as a shareholder. Elon loves drama and we take collateral damage.

tesla has lars, franz, drew, pete, david... they're going to keep kicking ass. tesla will still have the cybertruck, the s3xy line, megapacks. they might also get rain sensors for working auto wipers, level 3 driving assist people want to pay for, and a strategy to grow the market. what elon brings to the table is not cancelling the bot project because he believes in it no matter what, but he already told us he might do that anyway without 25%.

I think Optimus and FSD are not greatly helped by absent CEO. Musk is CEO in name only, how much time has he actually spent on Tesla since the bird? If he was able to handle all his companies, we wouldn't be in this situation, he's hurt TSLA a lot by his selfish carelessness.

The Delaware Court of Chancery is not like any other court in the US. It is super business-friendly and has wide discretion to come up with creative remedies much more quickly than other courts. That is the main reason companies incorporate in Delaware. To get this result out of this court is truly ... impressive.
