About Trevor Milton
Trevor Milton founded Nikola Motor in 2014 to build semi trucks powered by batteries and hydrogen.
Milton resigned as chairman of Nikola in September 2020 following allegations from a short seller that Milton misrepresented the company's technology.
In response to the allegations, Milton tweeted, "I intend to defend myself against false allegations leveled against me by outside detractors."
The Phoenix, Arizona-based company raised $600 million from investors. In June 2020 it merged with listed firm VectoIQ, now called Nikola Corp.
Anheuser Busch ordered 800 trucks, which Nikola aims to deliver in 2021; in Sept. 2020, General Motors agreed to take an 11% stake in Nikola.
