☆ Opinion | Can Elon Musk Really Do That?

Angela Aneiros, an assistant professor at Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane, Wash., can’t get enough of Elon Musk. “For better or worse, he’s like the gift that keeps on giving to corporate law professors. The students relate to Musk and I can say to them, ‘Here’s the perfect example of what not to do.’”The latest perfect example is what Musk wrote on Monday on X, which he owns. “Unless that is the case,” he wrote, “I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla.”To Aneiros and other experts in corporate law, Musk’s threat is audacious, for reasons I’ll get into. But it’s also a teachable moment in that it surfaces principles concerning how corporations, their boards and their executives work with one another.
