概要

In this episode, we explore the rise and fall of Nikola Corporation, the hydrogen truck company founded in 2015 by Trevor Milton. Initially billed as the Tesla of hydrogen trucks, Nikola quickly surged to a $30 billion valuation despite having no mass-produced vehicles, revenue, or even prototypes. The hype unraveled in 2020 when Hindenburg Research revealed staged demos and misleading claims, leading to Milton's resignation and a federal jury convicting him on multiple fraud charges. Despite the scandal, Nikola lingered on until its ultimate bankruptcy filing in March 2025. We dissect how investors and analysts got it so wrong, whether Milton was intentionally deceitful or overly optimistic, and what broader lessons can be drawn from this remarkable corporate meltdown. Tune in to understand the nuances of this story and its parallels to other infamous corporate disasters like Theranos and WeWork.
