Nikola Is Losing Everything: When a $30 BILLION LIE Backfires

In 2020, a truck startup with almost no revenue was worth more than Ford. Its founder promised hydrogen trucks that would change the world.

This is the story of Nikola and Trevor Milton: the pitch, the hype, the short-seller report that blew it all open, the fraud trial, the bankruptcy - and a pardon nobody saw coming. How did a company with no working product fool Wall Street, giant partners and thousands of retail investors? And is Nikola the exception - or the rule?
