Nikola Corp founder and former Chairman Trevor Milton appears to have deleted his Twitter account days after resigning from the company’s board amid federal probes about allegations of deception.

An avid user of social media, Milton has been under pressure since a short seller accused him and his company of misrepresenting the capabilities of its vehicle prototypes and its technology. His Twitter account, which he once posted to frequently and publicly, had been silent and locked to unapproved viewers before apparently being disabled or deleted on Sept 22.
