Nikola, the electric truck manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy following a series of scandals, including accusations of fraud against its founder, Trevor Milton. The company faced scrutiny after reports revealed they misrepresented their vehicle capabilities, notably a promotional video showing a prototype rolling downhill as if it was operational. Despite these challenges, Nikola's stock initially retained value, highlighting the complexities of investor sentiment in a volatile market. The comments reflect opinions on the overall viability of hydrogen in transportation, with many suggesting a shift towards battery technology as a more reliable solution.
