SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS: Trevor Milton Claims He’s Been Pardoned by Trump!
In a jaw-dropping twist worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, Trevor Milton, the controversial founder of the electric truck company Nikola, has boldly announced that he’s received a full pardon from none other than former President Donald Trump! 🚨
Milton took to social media to declare, “I was issued a full and unconditional pardon by @realDonaldTrump himself. He called me personally to tell me.” Can you believe it? This mind-blowing revelation comes after Milton was sentenced to four years behind bars in 2023 for deceiving investors about Nikola’s technological capabilities, all in a bid to boost its floundering stock price! 📈💸
But hold onto your hats, folks—Milton insists this isn’t just about his freedom. He ranted on X, “This pardon is not just about me — it’s about every American who has been railroaded by the government. It is no wonder why trust and confidence in the Justice Department has eroded to nothing.” Is this a rallying cry for the disillusioned masses? You bet it is!
The smoke surrounding Milton’s pardon is thick—details have yet to surface on the US justice department’s website, and even Trump has kept mum about it on Truth Social. Meanwhile, Milton’s legal pit bull, Brad Bondi (who just so happens to be the brother of a US attorney-general), was MIA when we tried to reach him for comments. 🤔
At its peak, Nikola was a $30 billion titan, but after a jaw-dropping financial freefall, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just last month, with a paltry $47 million in its coffers! Once the darling of retail investors, the company crumbled after being branded an “intricate fraud” by short seller Hindenburg Research.
As Milton’s trial unfolded, his defense team bizarrely argued that he simply “sees the world differently than most other people.” Seriously? They even begged the judge not to compare him to Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame, who is currently cooling her heels in prison for fraud.
Prosecutors painted Milton as a conniving "conman" who flaunted his ill-gotten gains on Caribbean properties and a private jet. Talk about living large while the investors got burned!
In typical Milton fashion, a press release from his media team drew wild parallels between his legal woes and those of Trump, who’s recently faced his own serious charges. Is this guy trying to position himself as the next victim of a massive conspiracy? You bet it sounds like it!
Now, with the taste of freedom (thanks to Trump) fresh in his mouth, Milton is turning his attention to a new documentary titled Conviction or Conspiracy: The Trevor Milton Saga. This cinematic escapade promises to drag audiences through one of the most sensational narratives in modern business history!
And let’s not forget Trump’s penchant for pardons; he’s already freed notorious figures like Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in the slammer for orchestrating a drug empire online. Will Milton become part of Trump’s storied legacy of controversial pardons? Only time will tell—but one thing is for sure: the saga of Trevor Milton is FAR from over!
Stay tuned, because this story is just heating up!🔥
