Lucid faces bankruptcy risk because Saudi Arabia's PIF, wrecked by poor investments, will cut future funding as it did with LIV Golf. The rumor that sent shares down 45% came from a blogger, but there is zero chance the Saudis keep backing the company. The car is fine but badly overpriced for its limited abilities: a $115,000 GT is like paying double for a Toyota Camry. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Lucid looks to be in serious trouble after reports it hired AlixPartners, one of the world's biggest Chapter 11 restructuring firms. It has not filed for bankruptcy, and Lucid called the rumors false, citing liquidity well into next year, but hiring such a firm suggests otherwise.

Lucid's inevitable fate is to be acquired, ideally by a big automaker, because it builds a good car but cannot scale manufacturing to reach cash-flow breakeven. Its long-term chart resembles that of a pump-and-dump penny stock. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Lucid is probably headed to zero, and Uber's $300 million bet on it, a moonshot to eventually compete with Waymo and Tesla in fully autonomous driving, looks like money tossed at a failing company. Yahoo Finance reports Lucid shares plunged on reports it is weighing going private or Chapter 11. x.com
