What happened between Diesel Brothers' Heavy D Sparks and Nikola?

Описание: #DieselBrothers #NikolaBadger #AutomotiveDrama

• Legal Controversy: In early 2024, Heavy D from Diesel Brothers was sued by Nikola Corporation over his association with a controversial businessman, Trevor Milton, which sparked significant legal and corporate disputes.
• Involvement with Nikola: Heavy D had been promoting Nikola's Badger, a hydrogen-electric pickup truck, which led to his deeper involvement with Nikola, despite the company’s fluctuating fortunes and eventual cessation of the Badger project.
• Board Nomination Issue: Nikola Corporation was upset with Heavy D’s continued association with Milton, particularly after Milton nominated him for a board position, which Nikola viewed as an attempt by Milton to regain influence over the company.
• Resolution of Legal Matters: The legal actions against Heavy D and other board nominees were eventually dismissed, with claims found not liable, and EMBR Motors, co-owned by Heavy D, asserted no current ties with Milton or his entity.
• Future of the Badger: Despite past controversies and legal issues, Heavy D remains interested in the Badger project, with possibilities of it still reaching the market, though no official launch had occurred by late 2024.
