Has anyone heard when the Cathie Wood / Trevor Milton smackdown is happening? With S&P 500 in a holding pattern for now I need an excuse to eat some popcorn.

4) Nothing is ever said about just how much electricity can be really be obtained as cheap/free excess. Should Nikola be nearly as successful as he claims it will be, won't they run out of electricity this cheap?
Superchargers are now 7 cents/kWh? I hadn't heardAlso, the proper comparison isn't to diesel, it's to Tesla's BEV semi, with electricity at $0.07/kWh.

Schemes which depend on "excess electricity" usually fail. There isn't that much excess, and there are better ways to absorb it (e.g. 100 million EVs on smart chargers). The other problem is capital efficiency. You can't make money running expensive electrolyzers for a few hours a day during low demand season. You need to run them 24x7. Or at least 15x6 or something.
I was never interested in hydrogen, so maybe missed it, but why we are not hearing about hydrogen airplanes? In aviation, costs and infrastructure availability could be easily traded for better power/weight ratio. Maybe a time for a new company to IPO and 'disrupt Boeing'?
We are highly dependent on the services of Trevor R. Milton, our Executive Chairman.
We are highly dependent on the services of Trevor R. Milton, our Executive Chairman, and largest stockholder. Mr. Milton is the source of many, if not most, of the ideas and execution driving Nikola. If Mr. Milton were to discontinue his service to us due to death, disability or any other reason, we would be significantly disadvantaged.
I don't have the fortitude to watch the videos. But you have the same approach as I do, which is to lay a little bit of real money on the line, which makes me pay attention. So you have convinced me to watch more of it.I bought some puts for the ER. Something triggered me to watch a Trevor presentation. Then I noticed some big red flags on his body language. So big that even when I wasn't looking for it, it jumped out. So I put some money in to verify if I am right or wrong.
