Yo Check It! Billion Dollar BUST!

Alright listen up cuz this is a story all about how Trevor Milton's world got flipped turned upside down! Remember Nikola the electric truck company that was supposed to be the next big thing? Well turns out the whole thing was kinda like when Carlton tries to rap – a whole lotta nothin'. Their founder Trevor Milton got nailed for lyin' to investors. Turns out those claims about their super truck? Fake news baby! Like when Geoffrey pretends to like Hilary's cooking.

Trump Card Played?!

So Milton gets convicted right? Facing some serious time. But hold up! Outta nowhere comes Donald Trump with a presidential pardon! Like BAM! Just like that Milton's free. He's shoutin' from the rooftops sayin' it's the best day of his life. And here's the kicker: he claims Trump did it 'cause Milton was one of the first to support him. Talk about a plot twist! It's like finding out Hilary actually *can* cook!

Show Me the Money (That Isn't There)

Now here's where it gets real messy. The courts wanted Milton to pay back $680 million to the folks he swindled. Plus another $15.2 million to some dude named Peter Hicks. But with the pardon that's all gone! Poof! Vanished like my patience when Carlton starts dancing. These investors lost their retirements their savings... all gone. And now they're left with nothin'. Straight up cold y'all.

Trump's Take: Exonerated? Seriously?

So the press hits up Trump askin' 'Why oh why?' Trump's all like 'He was exonerated!' Which is… well let's just say it's a bit of a stretch. Like sayin' Jazz is a good influence. He claims Milton was 'persecuted' and 'did nothing wrong.' I dunno about you but lyin' to investors to make a quick buck sounds pretty wrong to me. But hey what do I know? I'm just a prince not a politician.

Bondi's Got Connections?!

And here's another curveball. Milton's lawyer? Has a sibling who's the Attorney General appointed by Trump. Coincidence? Maybe. But it's enough to make you raise an eyebrow higher than Geoffrey when he's judging someone's outfit. Seems like the legal system is more tangled up than a plate of Aunt Viv's spaghetti!

Nikola's Downfall: Straight Outta Luck

The whole Nikola situation is a hot mess. The company's bankrupt trucks gettin' recalled and it's all tied to Milton's tall tales. The company went from a $30 billion valuation to basically zero in the blink of an eye. It's like watching Carlton try to play basketball – it starts with high hopes and ends with… well you know. The real question is who's gonna clean up this mess? And will justice ever be served? This whole saga is messier than Aunt Viv's divorce man!
