As Elon Musk fights in the Delaware Supreme Court for his $56 billion Tesla CEO pay, SpaceX, Neuralink, Meta, Pershing Square Capital, Dropbox, and Tesla, have moved from Delaware or are in the process of reincorporating in other states.

The seemingly sudden moves aren't a knee-jerk reaction of CEOs, like Bill Ackman of Pershing, in solidarity with Musk.
