      They could have made a working prototype for a couple million dollars. And if the guy kept his mouth shut, Iveco would have started production in about 1 year from now and everyone would have been happy… stock rising and all that good stuff …

    Wouldn’t a change of ceo be a sign that the company is changing? So now they’re going into a manufacturing business instead of a company looking for investors.

      Nikola has no product and no technology. It is difficult to run a business when you have nothing of value to offer. Changing leadership doesn’t change that fact.

      It’s a little but like saying that if bankrupt Theranos changed their CEO from Elizabeth Holmes to Sunny Balwani, they would all of a sudden become a viable company.

On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast recorded live at the Vermont Hollywood theater, Rachel Karten, author of the Link in Bio newsletter, and Taylor Lorenz, founder of User Mag, talk about the possibility of AI killing all humans, or maybe just some.
