Lucid is described as currently being on a 'Hiring Surge', with job listings including 'Investor Relations Analyst' and 'SEC Reporting Manager' - further adding to the credibility of the recent SPAC rumors.
TL:DR
IF talks are successful, I believe this could be one of the most popular SPACs ever.
This isnt a $QS or $NKLA or $FSR
Lucid, has a product, groundbreaking tech, serious funding, a factory and wealth of experience which could prove to be a real threat to Tesla.
