Wheelahan found that under Nevada law, merging Twitter into X turned Twitter into a "constituent entity," which then transferred all of Twitter's legal consequences to X Corp.

Isn't that how it works everywhere? What where they even arguing for?

Like, if that worked, wouldn't every company just sell itself to a new shell company once a year and drop every kind of legal liability?

Elmo was really hoping he found a SovCit level loophole to just escape all consequences.

Which is weird, because SovCits are a cargo cult who try to mimic the legal miracles top lawyers sometimes manage to pull off. Musk should be different - he does have access to these top lawyers who do have deep understanding of the law.

Unless Twittex' lawyers got the same treatment the engineers got?
