- ripe 1y agoFascinating tidbit: > Trevor Milton, who founded Nikola in 2014... lied about nearly every aspect of the hydrogen-fueled-truck company’s business... he was convicted... Milton received a pardon from President Trump this year, which also means he no longer has to pay restitution to investors who lost money on Nikola. Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump’s campaign in October. Is the above kind of graft also par for the course, or is it unprecedented?
