Tesla CEO Elon Musk took on Delaware 's corporate law after a judge rescinded his $56 billion CEO pay package.

Several companies, including Dropbox , Meta and Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital , are either considering incorporation moves or have already made plans to exit.

State lawmakers are now considering a controversial bill that would make Delaware a more attractive state for businesses.

The legislation has support from some prominent party leaders, including the governor, as well as corporate defense attorneys, legal scholars and former litigants unhappy with prior rulings in Delaware .
