How it happened
Mullen Automotive is a US EV startup that went public via a SPAC-style reverse merger in 2021. After an initial valuation near $1B, its shares collapsed amid heavy losses, dilution, and skepticism about its products. The company executed multiple reverse stock splits to stay listed, and its market capitalization fell to a tiny fraction of its peak.
Glassdoor reviews were few and skewed negative, with reviewers questioning direction and leadership at the EV maker.
