Hindenburg founder Nate Anderson responded to claims that were made by Nikola founder Trevor Milton during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Anderson, known for uncovering financial scams, said the claim that Hindenburg paid employees for inside information is “patently absurd.” The key whistleblower discussed in the interview was only briefly a contractor for Milton, Anderson said.

“He was so horrified by what he viewed as Milton’s repeated false claims that he did a tremendous amount of research on his own, unraveling numerous additional suspected lies that Milton peddled to the investing public,” Anderson posted on social media site X on Wednesday.

Anderson also denied claims that he coordinated with the media or the Dept. of Justice.

“There was ample evidence that Milton misstated numerous aspects of his business, as the company itself later acknowledged,” Anderson wrote.

Milton, who was convicted of fraud, was pardoned earlier this year by President Donald Trump. Milton was sentenced to four years in prison in 2023 after a federal jury found him guilty of lying about Nikola’s (OTC:NKLAQ) technology, including the claim that the company had built its own electric truck.

Nikola filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February, saying it was exploring a sale of its assets.

“In short, Tucker, I highly suggest you actually vet the people you welcome onto your platform,” Anderson added in his X post. “If you find yourself staring, mouth agape at your interviewee, repeatedly saying ‘Wow! This is unbelievable!’ it may in fact be because it’s unbelievable.”

The European Commission proposed on Friday to exempt zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles from road tolls until 2031. The agency said it is taking the action to stimulate and support the competitiveness of sustainable road transport.

As pledged in its Industrial Action Plan for the European automotive sector, the European Commission is proposing to extend the current exemption period from December 31 to June 30, 2031. The extension is anticipated to produce a significant incentive for companies to invest in zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles.

The upfront cost of these vehicles was noted to be currently higher than their conventional counterparts, making them less attractive to buyers and one of the main barriers to their wider deployment. By waiving tolls and user charges, the EU intends to make zero-emission trucks and buses a more viable option for businesses.

“We need to create the right conditions to support European companies and reward early movers in the transition to a low-carbon economy,” said Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas. “By extending the exemption period, we are providing a strong business incentive for industry to invest in zero-emission vehicles and reduce emissions from road transport. It’s important for our companies but also for our climate objectives.”
