It might actually make sense for GM. GM is building the vehicles using their own tech/plants (presumably not at a loss) and for doing so, is getting Nikola stock.

If Nikola is an unexpected success, then they have a significant stake in it, and if they fail, then hopefully they don't have too many vehicles that Nikola hasn't paid for.
