One of the most comical SPAC deals of the year; one no-revenue company buys another:

Nikola $NKLA will acquire $RMO Romeo Power for $144mn (~90% discount).

That’s a fraction of the $1.33bn value at which the CA-based company agreed to merge with a SPAC.

@Apple, fix your software! https://t.co/uYjLNUBGfJ
