A good article from Crunchbase about the SPACs basics:
I was enjoying (RGB Acquisition Corps) but seems to be bearish this week.
An interesting article about SPACs:
Cciv seems to be going moonward

A news article about the Branson-related SPAC with an interesting video about SPACs:
A question:
Imagine a startup company, ABC, that is owned by venture capital firms or a more mature and established company, XYZ, owned by private equity firms.
Now, what prevents that the venture capital firms or private equity firms from creating a SPAC, sell their shares, and then the SPAC acquiring the startup/mature company that they owned previously? It shows a conflict of interests.
Even if there aren’t any of that cases, companies going public though SPAC are less public scrutinized, the SPAC’s investors could be holding the bag on a lemon (a dud or even a fraud company).
Nikola was a SPAC acquired company, probably not the case of the same sellers and buyers questioned above, but still a company that still needs prove itself as a reliable company.
Theranos was shown and proved as a fraud company, imagine if it went public though a SPAC, and after that it was discover it was a fraud…
