NYSE:CCIV investors have finally received some good news after going months without any updates from Lucid, as the company inches closer to merging with CCIV. On Friday, CCIV reversed its trend and gained 4.00% to close the trading day at $17.94. Shares are still trading below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, but investors are relieved to see that the SPAC stock finally found support before it fell below its initial PIPE price of $15. With some recent announcements, CCIV may be looking to do a bullish reversal heading towards a Q3 merger date.

Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson fired back at former boss Elon Musk, who recently made some public jabs towards the former Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) employee. Musk said that Rawlinson was never a Chief Engineer at Tesla and downplayed his roles in the development of the Model S and Model X vehicles. Rawlinson responded by claiming he still had his business cards from Tesla, and that it would seem like a great deal of effort to have fraudulent cards made up if that was not his actual position.
