Rivian finalizes $6.6B loan for its Georgia factory


Rivian and the Department of Energy have finalized a $6.6 billion loan announced in November with just a few days left until Donald Trump's inauguration.

Rivian’s loan drew criticism from Vivek Ramaswamy, who is supposed to be co-leading the so-called “department of government efficiency” with Elon Musk after Trump takes office. Sean O’Kane is a reporter who has spent a decade covering the rapidly-evolving business and technology of the transportation industry, including Tesla and the many startups chasing Elon Musk. He previously worked at The Verge, where he also covered consumer technology, hosted many short- and long-form videos, performed product and editorial photography, and once nearly passed out in a Red Bull Air Race plane.
