Look at this man. He disrupted a $1 trillion industry. Was feared by Elon Musk. Built a company valued at $34 billion. But now heโ€™s in prison for running one of the biggest scams in history. Hereโ€™s the full story: Trevor Milton wasnโ€™t born into wealth. But he had big dreams. In 2016, he launched Nikola Motors with a promise to revolutionize transportation. The Nikola One: A truck that would run on hydrogen, travel 1,000 miles, and only take 15 minutes to refuel. But the truck behind him was just a shell. It couldnโ€™t drive. Milton convinced Bosch, GM, and other major players to invest in his vision. Milton hyped up his truck, took pre-orders, and claimed it was ready for production. But in reality, the truck was still just a frame on wheels. Nikola had no such technology. In 2020, the truth finally came out. Hindenburg Research exposed Nikola as an โ€œintricate fraud,โ€ filled with lies, fake technology, and empty promises. This event marked end of his tech fairy tale.
