Episode 197: Trevor Milton (Nikola)

This week we look on the brighter side of billionaire fraudsters and cover Trevor Milton of Nikola hydrogen semi-truck fame. This is the man who sold the concept of a product that never came to fruition. Find out his humble Mormon Utah roots and the half dozen companies that taught him how to defraud investors into becoming the success he is today. This episode does have mentions of sexual assault so be forewarned that this dude is a mook.

Grubstakers needs to license PodSave technology and leverage it into billionairehood. I believe in you

Thanks for the info hopefully he'll agree to our interview request and we can cover some of these other angles.

Cool I requested this guy in a comment way back in June. You didn't even have time to get all the good stuff! The company didn't actually IPO but rather became publicly traded by reverse merger, Trevor's comments about the infotainment system being powered by an HTML supercomputer, his natural gas truck conversion company basically being a total scam as well with the pilot program not living up to promises, people taking the "Nikola challenge" on that stretch of road from the promo video, Trevor's use of a private plane etc. Still it was nice to have a lighthearted episode. Anyway this guy is worth 2 billion more than me and lives in a mansion so what do I know.
