The sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia, according to the agreement of intent, can invest more than $1 billion in Lucid Motors, a competitor of American Tesla, and acquire a controlling stake in it, Reuters reports citing sources familiar with the situation. According to them, the initial amount of investments will be 500 million dollars. The rest of the sum will be split into two tranches, which Lucid Motors will be able to get when certain production figures are reached.
