🚨BREAKING: Samsara Inc (NYSE: $IOT ) is leaving Delaware for Nevada
The $17 billion company says Nevada offers a more predictable legal environment, stronger protections for directors and officers, and less risk of "costly nuisance litigation."
Samsara says that would help management stay focused on long-term innovation, strategic execution, and growth.
If you haven't seen this, please watch... "What's wrong with America's most important business court right now. And how despicable its top judge, Chancellor McCormick, truly is." #Delaware#court#legal#law

DE Chancery Court
I am mad.
Mad that one woman can hold a company hostage for so many years.
And here is my warning to Companies incorporated in Delaware, to fund managers and financial analysts. And to Delaware's Governor @MattMeyerDE, who missed a golden opportunity.
A BIG company is voting this month on leaving Delaware for Nevada. That's $8.8 billion at stake.

🚨 Delaware defenders are being called out for misrepresenting Nevada corporate law in a recent article.
Ben Edwards, joined by Nevada legal and policy voices, published a response claiming that Michal Barzuza’s draft piece "Nevada v. Delaware" does not accurately present Nevada law. The criticism goes beyond disagreement over policy. It includes claims that key quotations, citations, and legal characterizations gave readers an incomplete and unfair picture of how Nevada corporate law actually works.
Why does that matter?
Because this is not just an academic dispute. Boards, investors, lawyers, and executives rely on these comparisons when deciding whether to stay in Delaware or consider alternatives like Nevada.
If Nevada’s legal framework is misstated, companies are not evaluating the real tradeoffs. They are evaluating a distorted version of them.
If Delaware is still the stronger jurisdiction, its case should be made on the merits, not through a misleading portrayal of alternatives.

🚨TODAY: A Delaware court dismissed three shareholder lawsuits against Tesla, ruling the cases must be filed in Texas instead.
A MASSIVE WIN for Tesla and @elonmusk
This is the story of how we got here, and why it matters.
In January 2024, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery voided Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation package, the largest CEO pay deal in history. The ruling shook corporate America.
Musk responded by moving Tesla's legal home from Delaware to Texas in June 2024. He called on every business in America to do the same.
Tesla shareholders then voted overwhelmingly to re-approve the pay package. McCormick rejected the ratification, ruling it came too late.
In December 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court overturned McCormick. It restored Musk's compensation and slashed the $345 million attorney fee award. The court found McCormick got it wrong.
But the damage was already done.
Then in March 2026, McCormick's LinkedIn account showed she "supported" a post celebrating a $2 billion verdict against Musk. His attorneys demanded she recuse herself from three remaining Tesla cases.
McCormick denied bias. She said she either didn't click "support" or did so accidentally, then reported "suspicious activity" on her account.
Despite her denials, she agreed to step aside. And in what may be the most unusual moment in the history of American corporate law, she used Scrabble tiles drawn from a bag to randomly assign the cases to two new judges.
One of those judges was Vice Chancellor Bonnie David.
Today, Vice Chancellor David dismissed all three Tesla shareholder derivative lawsuits. Her ruling: Tesla's shareholders voted to require derivative litigation be filed in Texas. That vote is valid. It applies even to cases that were already pending in Delaware.
From the opinion: "I will not second-guess Tesla stockholders' chosen forum by purporting to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of Texas law and procedure relative to our own. The owners of the corporation voted to require that derivative litigation be filed in a Texas forum. On the present facts, it is not inequitable to enforce their decision."
Delaware's own court just told shareholders: if you want to sue Tesla, go to Texas.
Here is why this matters.
This ruling sets a precedent. Companies that reincorporate out of Delaware can adopt forum selection bylaws that pull pending litigation out of Delaware courts. It is no longer enough to file a lawsuit in Delaware. If the company leaves, the case may follow.
One judge's rulings sparked a corporate exodus. Her own Supreme Court overturned her. She was caught showing bias on social media. She was forced off the cases. And now the court she leads is dismissing lawsuits because the company already left.
