Zuckerberg Goes Full Cowboy As Meta Considers Reincorporating to Elon’s Tech Playground: Texas

Well here’s one thing I didn’t have on my 2025 bingo card: Mark Zuckerburg becoming a full-on Cowboy. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Menlo Park-based overlord of your Instagram doom scroll is considering moving its corporate incorporation from Delaware to Texas. And no, this isn’t about relocating its headquarters (California, you can unclench), but more of a legal paperwork shuffle. But even still, this could be a big deal if Zuck decides to cowboy up and join the Silicon Valley exodus to the Lone Star State.

For starters, Delaware is the OG corporate haven. Why? It’s got business-friendly laws, a legal system that’s practically built for corporations, and a court system (Chancery Court, if you’re nasty) that moves faster than a Kardashian scandal. But lately, Delaware’s vibe has been a little less “corporate utopia” and a little more “don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Just ask Elon Musk, who bailed on the state after a court battle over his $56 billion Tesla payday drama. Musk didn’t just leave—he made it personal, reincorporating Tesla and SpaceX in Texas, because of course he did.

Now, it looks like Zuck might be taking a page out of Elon’s How to Ghost Delaware playbook, potentially reincorporating Meta in Texas. Why Texas? Simple. It’s like Delaware but with cowboy hats, lower taxes, and fewer legal strings attached. The state’s regulatory framework is practically a love letter to businesses wanting to cut costs and dodge headaches. Plus, Texas has become the unofficial clubhouse for Silicon Valley’s anti-California club. Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle, and Elon’s entire empire (Tesla, SpaceX, X, and The Boring Company) have all planted their flags in Texas soil.

Now with that said, Meta’s interest in Texas isn’t exactly new. The company already has a beefy presence in Austin, with an office big enough to house 1,500 employees. They even just moved their key content policy team there, which feels like a strategic power move considering Zuck’s recent “free speech” rants. In a video earlier this year, Zuck claimed Texas was the perfect place to promote “trust” and “free expression” because, apparently, that’s easier to do in a state with fewer people side-eyeing your algorithms.

But don’t let the PR stuff fool you. This isn’t about free speech or trust—it’s about money and control (because, duhhh, it always is). See, Texas offers a more favorable tax environment, which is great news for Meta’s bottom line. And Meta moving out of Delaware gives Zucks empire a chance to sidestep the kind of legal scrutiny that’s had them shelling out billions in fines and settlements for everything from privacy violations to antitrust issues.

On the other hand, Meta insists this is all just preliminary, but the timing is suspicious. The company’s been trimming fat like a keto dieter—layoffs, cost-cutting, and putting the Metaverse on a diet that screams, “Yooo, we F’ed up”. So understandably, a reincorporation in Texas would fit right into that playbook. It’s the kind of low-key move that could save Meta a boatload of cash while signaling to investors that Zuck’s got his eyes on the one thing that makes people like him (read: stock price). 

So given this, what’s the takeaway from this somewhat boring news? Well, if Meta does reincorporate in Texas, investors will likely cheer the move, seeing it as Zuck trying to eliminate costs in every way he can. Now I’m not saying we’ll see a major pop in price if this happens, but it definitely will help the company keep the momentum at the all time highs it’s at this year.

Which means one thing, and one thing only: keep your eyes on this story and keep your eyes on Meta. Obviously, place your bets accordingly and do your due diligence—and as always, stay safe and stay frosty, friends! Until next time…
