Nikola Corporation has a total of six patents. They are all design patents, which are different from utility patents. Design patents consist only of one or more drawings, and they cover only things that look like those drawings.
The United States patent system, like the rest of the world, is on "first to file". Whoever files the first patent application for an invention gets the patent. If Shepherd777 publicly disclosed anything in a Nikola patent before the Nikola patent filing date, then that Nikola patent is not valid.
You can read the Nikola patents by going to patft.uspto.gov, click on Advanced Search under patents, then use search criteria an/nikola.
