Remember when Jobs rules the roost and every wannabe wore turtlenecks and was a complete a-hole1 because Steve did it that way. Well the current iteration is “lie like Elon”. The current low rez Elon has finally gotten his comeuppance.
Trevor Milton, the founder and former CEO of electric truck company Nikola, was sentenced to four years in prison after a jury found him guilty of misleading investors about the company’s technology. Milton was also ordered to pay a $1 million fine.
Federal prosecutor said Milton had lied about Nikola’s capabilities, including an assertion that it had built its own electric truck, the Nikola One, from the “ground up.” They also accused him of staging a video that purportedly showed its Nikola One semi driving under its own power when it was actually rolling down a hill.
- To be fair, they were all intrinsically a-holes but amped it up to cover for the fact they sucked at their jobs. ↩︎
