They also discuss some governance hot topics, such as federal-forum selection charter provisions and the Sciabacucchi case, Elon Musk’s personal coverage of insurance for Tesla’s directors, ESG matters, and the treatment of conflicts of interests in early stage Silicon Valley startup companies vis-a-vis conflicts in publicly-traded companies.
