Trevor Milton founded Nikola, an electric truck company. In October 2022, a jury convicted him of securities fraud after prosecutors proved he deceived investors with a viral video showing a prototype truck appearing to drive under its own power. The truck was actually rolling downhill after being towed to the top. The jury deliberated for hours after a two-month trial. Federal prosecutors sought $695.2 million in restitution from Milton, including $680 million to Nikola shareholders and $15.2 million to wire fraud victim Peter Hicks. Many investors lost retirement savings during the COVID-19 pandemic and waited for repayment.
In October 2024, Milton and his wife donated more than $1.8 million to Trump’s reelection campaign.
Milton personally contributed $920,000 to the Trump 47 Committee and $284,000 to the RNC.
The combined total represented one of the largest individual contributions to Trump that cycle.
Five months later, on March 27, 2025, Trump personally called Milton to inform him of his pardon. Trump granted it the next day.
The pardon eliminated both Milton’s four-year prison sentence and the $695.2 million restitution obligation. Investors will never be repaid.
The return on Milton’s “investment” to Trump was 37,400 percent.
