Trevor Robert Milton (born April 6, 1982) is an American entrepreneur and convicted felon, founder and former executive chairman of Nikola Corporation, a company focused on developing hydrogen and electric-powered commercial vehicles.
In September 2020, Milton resigned as executive chairman following investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) into allegations of securities fraud.[2][3] In 2022, he was found guilty charges of securities and wire fraud, resulting in a four-year prison sentence and a $1 million fine.[4][5]
