Mormon billionaire Trevor Milton steps down from Nikola

Post by Lexew1899 »

The company he founded, Nikola, is meant to be a Tesla competitor. He was recently pressured into leaving his position as CEO of the company due to SEC pressure. Served a mission in Brazil. Here’s the article for general interest.

Am I crazy or is that page formatted really badly? It's like it's just not loading the CSS or something. I had no idea the founder of Nikola was a Mormon guy. Honestly I'll have to look this up later lol, the page is unreadable for me

Says “Electric” rather than Hydrogen which will be a major driver of OTEC. 8-)

Also likely will kill Chicago economy, leading to civil war in 2024.

I believe I saw something on Twitter yesterday where a younger cousin of his has come out and accused him of molesting her while at a family gathering just prior to his mission. I'm assuming that explains his departure. His own Twitter account is down now too.

Yeah I saw that a few days later too.

I think the weirdest thing is the guy is a billionaire now, and as far as I know they haven't even manufactured any vehicles yet. The stock market sure loves people with far fetched dreams all of a sudden. But you can put a lump sum of money down on preorders, of course.
