Prominent venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has moved his recent business incorporations to Nevada citing concerns over Delaware&#8217;s judicial system and its impact on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders, marking a potential shift in corporate domicile preferences.
What Happened: In a statement on X, Palihapitiya revealed he has incorporated his last four companies in Nevada, stating, &#8220;Ever since the judicial activism against Tesla shareholders, I redirected the incorporation of the last four companies I&#8217;ve bought or started to Nevada.&#8221; He emphasized that &#8220;activism has a price and DE will pay it as fewer companies pick them.&#8221;
The former Facebook executive&#8217;s decision comes amid a broader corporate migration trend, with major companies reassessing their traditional ties to Delaware, long considered the gold standard for corporate law. 
When questioned about his choice of Nevada over other business-friendly states like Wyoming or Texas, Palihapitiya cited Nevada&#8217;s pro-business environment, established legal precedents, and proximity to California.

Other major corporations, including Tesla, Oracle Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp., have made similar moves to Texas.
Andy Walz, Chevron&#8217;s President of Americas Products, emphasized the practical motivations behind such relocations. &#8220;California is a tough place to do business,&#8221; Walz said, citing recruitment challenges and high living costs. &#8220;In Texas, we&#8217;re welcome.

Chamath Palihapitiya Relocates Businesses To Nevada Citing Delaware 'Judicial Activism' Against Tesla Shareholders

Two Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) whale investors, inactive for six years, were suspected of booking hundreds of millions in profits by selling the second-largest cryptocurrency just before the big market crash on Sunday.
What Happened: The two wallets deposited 135,548 ETH, worth $399 million, to&nbsp;cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex&nbsp;eight hours before the overnight crash, according to on-chain tracker Spot On Chain. The wallets originally withdrew ETH at just $153.65 on Jan. 5, 2019, when the stash was worth $20.8 million.
It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear whether the investors offloaded the entire stockpile. But if they did, they&#8217;d be netting a profit of $378.3 million.

Additionally, more than $320 million worth of Ether entered exchanges on a net basis, nearly tripling from the previous day. The sharp jump in deposits indicated potential sell-offs.

International Paper And DS Smith Merge To Form Global Leader In Sustainable Packaging

Former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/yanis-varoufakis">Greek Finance Minister</a> Yanis Varoufakis warns that the TikTok ban controversy in the United States exposes a deeper issue: the concentration of power among tech platform owners who function as &#8220;techno-feudal lords&#8221; over social media users.
What Happened: &#8220;There is no stopping a form of economic activity which concentrates so much direct power in the hands of so few people, over our thoughts, our minds,&#8221; Varoufakis <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-01/social-media-hunger-games-technofeudalism-control/104877888?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=mail">told</a> ABC News, arguing that Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) poses similar concerns as TikTok. &#8220;Do not fall into the trap of thinking that there is a good techno-feudal lord.&#8221;
Varoufakis is also a game theory expert who tried to use strategic brinkmanship to negotiate Greece's bailout during its 2015 financial crisis.
Varoufakis advocates for &#8220;interoperability&#8221; regulations that would allow users to transfer their followers between platforms, similar to phone number portability between carriers. This approach, he argues, &#8220;would reduce the switching costs and would deal a major blow at the exorbitant power of platform owners.&#8221;
His concerns come as major tech figures, including Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, maintain close ties with political leadership. &#8220;What they want from a president — and they don&#8217;t give a damn whether it&#8217;s [Donald] Trump or anyone else — is to get the federal government off their back,&#8221; Varoufakis said.

Why It Matters: The ongoing TikTok situation, which could force ByteDance into a joint <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43230011/meta-leverages-tiktok-ban-threats-to-boost-instagram-offering-creators-cash-deals">venture worth up to $50 billion</a> according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, exemplifies this power dynamic. Potential buyers include Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Chairman Larry Ellison, and a consortium led by YouTube star MrBeast offering over $20 billion.
Meanwhile, Meta is capitalizing on TikTok&#8217;s uncertainty by offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43230011/meta-leverages-tiktok-ban-threats-to-boost-instagram-offering-creators-cash-deals">creators up to $50,000 monthly</a> to shift to Instagram Reels, highlighting the platform owners&#8217; ability to reshape the social media landscape. The company has invested over $2 billion in creator payments in 2024 alone.

Chinese EV giant BYD Co.

What Happened:&nbsp;Pure passenger EV (battery electric vehicle) sales of the Chinese player rose to 125,377 in January, marking a rise of 19% from the corresponding month of last year.
Plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales in the period rose 79% to 171,069 units.

President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on the U.S.&#8217;s three largest trading partners — Canada, China, and Mexico — over the weekend. Economists have warned about potential negative impacts on American businesses and consumers. However, this economist argues that these tariffs could serve as a tool for transitioning the U.S. economy.
What Happened: Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, outlined a bold hypothesis about the role of tariffs in reshaping America's economic future in a recent X post.
His argument centers around the concept of transitioning the U.S. from a high-time preference society, which according to him is focused on short-term gains and immediate profit maximization—to a more sustainable, low-time preference model.
A high-time preference is when someone is more likely to choose immediate gratification over future benefits. This shift, according to Shapiro, is crucial for the health and long-term prosperity of the United States and to bring back manufacturing in the country. 
According to him, tariffs are &#8220;a way to reduce wealth inequality from Wall Street to Main Street which is necessary to have a functioning society in the future.&#8221;

Shapiro argues that the current state of the U.S. economy and financial markets is unsustainable, driven by an obsession with short-term results. This focus, he suggests, has been exacerbated by the government&#8217;s continuous money printing and ballooning deficits, leading to an imbalance in the economy. 
He warns that unless a major shift occurs, the country could face a &#8220;violent fourth turning,&#8221; a crisis that could permanently alter the fabric of American society.

Why It Matters: According to Shapiro, the key to averting such a crisis lies in the use of tariffs, particularly as a tool to address structural economic issues. He contends that the Trump administration by levying tariffs, in its second term can bring manufacturing jobs back to the country, reestablish a more balanced economy, and gradually address the wealth disparity that has come to define modern American society.
"They (tariffs) will begin to turn back the wealth inequality dial in favor of the 99% over the 1% and bring structural change that will eventually lead us to a better place."
He also acknowledged that the process will be difficult and may disrupt markets in the short term, he believes it is vital for rebalancing the economy. He argues that asset prices, particularly in the stock market, need to fall to reduce inflation and address the unequal distribution of wealth. In doing so, the economic benefits would be spread more evenly across society, allowing for a healthier, more equitable system.
"The folks around Trump this time around—Bessent, Miran, Lutnick, Rubio, and others—seem to understand that this time has to be different," Shapiro adds, referring to the president's advisers and supporters in the second term. &#8220;And so it will be.&#8221;
Tariff Details: The newly introduced tariffs on a third of U.S. imports, plus a 10% levy on Chinese goods, begin Tuesday, potentially driving up prices from agriculture to automobiles. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has warned of supply chain disruptions and higher family costs, citing concerns over trade with Mexico worth $46 billion in agricultural products, and Canada valued at $97 billion in energy supplied.
Price Action: The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed 0.53% lower at $601.82 on Friday, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) tracking Nasdaq 100 declined 0.15% to $522.29.
