The richest man in the world earlier moved the incorporation of X from Delaware to Nevada when he renamed the company from Twitter. Nevada's business laws give company leaders stronger protection from lawsuits by investors.

The shift Delaware to Nevada was completed on February 8, according to the office of the Nevada secretary of state and a notice sent to shareholders in the company. The notice sent to shareholders, which was reviewed by Bloomberg, informed them that their outstanding shares in the Delaware corporation would now be incorporated into outstanding shares in the Nevada corporation. Neuralink lawyer Philip Mao declined to comment to Bloomberg.

Last week, Musk announced on Twitter that his company Neuralink had put a device into a human for the first time. This device is designed to let people with serious injuries use computers just by thinking. Musk believes that, in the future, the device will allow anyone to control phones, computers and many other devices simply by thinking.

They handle big business deals and disagreements without a jury.
