Musk asks Delaware judge to recuse after LinkedIn reaction

Elon Musk's lawyers asked Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery to recuse herself from a Tesla shareholder lawsuit over her LinkedIn reaction to a post criticizing him, arguing it creates a perception of bias. McCormick says she did not read the post and reported suspicious activity after her account showed an unusual reaction; the filing seeks to reassign the case to another judge. The matter relates to Musk's past rulings and his move of companies from Delaware to Texas, and concerns allegations Musk misled about selling Tesla shares prior to the Twitter purchase.

Shareholder sues over 10% US government stake cited as shield against Trump pressure

A shareholder-led Delaware Court of Chancery suit claims Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan and the board granted the US government a 10% stake in Intel—worth about $11 billion—without meaningful consideration, allegedly to protect executives from extortion-like threats and social-media attacks by Donald Trump. The deal, funded by converting Biden-era CHIPS Act grants, followed Trump’s criticisms and a White House visit, and the complaint also targets Skadden for advising both Intel and the government; it seeks to unwind the arrangement. Intel declined to comment, and the stock has risen since the deal was struck as the company pursues its foundry ambitions.

"Judge Overrules Elon Musk's $55 Billion Tesla Pay Package"

A Delaware Court of Chancery judge has ruled that Elon Musk won't receive his $55 billion pay package, prompting Tesla's board to devise a new proposal. The ruling, if upheld, could impact Musk's wealth, potentially dropping him to the third-richest person globally. The case centered on whether Musk misled shareholders about the package, with the court finding that the proxy statement inaccurately portrayed key directors as independent. Musk, who seeks greater control over Tesla, awaits the verdict's impact on his proposal for a larger ownership stake.
