Attention everybody. This is an emergency podcast, an emergency podcast Trevor Milton has left Nicola.

That's right. You all know that we had Trevor Milton on this week and start us back in July episode

ten ninety and the company had gone public through a SPAC special purpose

acquisition corporation that we've been talking about a whole lot here in the Silicon Valley.

And I went on, after that podcast, I went on CNBC and I said, listen, remember my rule about

Sunacorns. If a company is valued at over a billion dollars before

it launches its product then there's a good chance it's either a fraud or it's going

to zero we're going to zero.

We're going to do a little forensic here

of the interview I just did a couple of months ago

and these answers were a little bit weird.

And this one is weird because I asked him why Nikola would pursue both hydrogen electric

and he kind of had an answer for that.

You know, electric works better than the city hydrogen works better on the road.

Okay, maybe I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that. I'm not sure if that's actually true.

But why would he create a consumer pickup truck, the Nikola Badger? Why would he create a consumer pickup truck that Nikola Badger?

Why would he go into competition with Tesla Cyber Truck or the Ford F-150?

I mean, these are big competitors to go up against you going up against the old

guard and the avant-garde tesla that doesn't make a lot of sense well

wouldn't you just focus on one thing startups that succeed tend to focus on one

thing and do it really well.

Well let's roll the tape and hear Trevor's answer to that.
