What did she try to do?
I don't get it...
How did she think it was going to end?
I don't understand... you can't pretend forever, people would figure out she doesn't have the tech sooner or later, no?
What did she try to do?

uhh it's called delusion?

>Believe it or not, that’s not the most astonishing thing in the Elizabeth Holmes story. According to Carreyrou, Holmes is currently waltzing around Silicon Valley, meeting with investors, hoping to raise money for an entirely new start-up idea. (My mouth dropped when I heard that, too.)
James Price
The most generous assumption is that she thought her engineers were going to figure out how to do it.
I agree with the previous user, though: delusion. Exactly the same as a gambler who thinks the big win is just around the corner, or bitcoin hodler who thinks it's just about to become the world reserve currency.
Landon King
She probably thought that with all the money she was getting she could eventually make it.
Dumb idea considering how big pharma couldn't do it.
Nicholas Torres
>SILICON VALLEY INGENUITY
>big = slow and dumb, small = smart and fast
She obviously wasn't the only believer.
Jaxon Watson
You're overestimating a woman's capacity for foresight.
Mason Myers
It's not really delusion, she's a sociopath allegedly. Clever and charming enough to fool people but not pull it off.
Matthew Bailey
It was a technology issue, no way a relatively small firm could discover something like that.
It's the reason why Nvidia and Amd are essentially the only GPU producers.
Joshua Mitchell
Poor thing. She probably needs to be put on suicide watch.
Luis Harris
Probably praised her entire life and thought her good grades would translate to real world success.
Alexander Torres
because in America all you need to do is BEELIEEEEVE.
I remember watching the gold medal Olympic hockey match earlier this year and the commentators were literally like
>now, what they need to do is believe they can win this
uhhh yeah... okay
Norman Vincent Peale has a lot to answer for.

It's weird to me.
>she likely had AP chem and took chem freshman year
>that means chemistry 1&2, and maybe biochemistry second semester knocked out
>not even through o-chem yet
>claims to have an invention that medical chemists just haven't been able to crack while barely having a college sophomore's understanding of chemistry
>nobody fucking caught this
What I suspect is that her decision to drop out and start a tech company while dressing like Jobs was meant to fool older folks who wanted to cash in on Apple 2.0: biotech boogaloo. The thing that flabbergasts me is that people who should have known better fucking fell for it.
Jaxson Wood
She has a really fuckable face
Daniel Martin
Couldn’t decide if I’d let her suck my pee pee but I’m gonna say I would. That lifeless stare makes me question things though
Robert Bennett
Didn’t she have huge name investors in the company? Might have been a laundering front
Eli Hall
This is what happens when investors and proponents fall for an extrovert / charismatic leader with uber-alpha characteristics. We can’t help it. If someone confident looking with credentials and backers sells us snake oil repackaged, we’ll buy it.
I don’t blame her. I blame everyone else who failed to see through the BS early.

>While we already knew that she adopted Jobs’ trademark black turtleneck, we learn from Carreyrou that she referred to her company’s blood testing product as the “iPod of healthcare.” She moved about in a black car without license plates, as Jobs had. She hired Apple veterans. She even engaged Apple’s advertising agency. After Jobs died, she aped things she learned about him from the Walter Isaacson biography.
literally LARPing as a man

Once they reach the bottleneck of current tech there are gonna be more, 7nm for AMD soon is incredible. Have you invested in any stock?
Oliver Walker
well, i mean didnt she get to KEEP most of the god damn money? i mean yes she had to pay fines and may go to jail (doubt it), but i think she still made off with a boat load of money that she gets to keep no? thats probably what she was thinking.
Kevin Cox
once you are in too deep its hard to go back. or maybe she is actually mentally ill and delusional
Luis Moore
Yeah, people like Rupert Murdoch, the Waltons, and Betsy DeVos

>live the life you deserve, all you need to do is believe it so
People forget that while it is proven that a sense of self-efficacy and self-agency is very important in accomplishing goals, sometimes more important than degree of talent, you still need to 'pay the piper' and actually deliver results.
Justin Morales
In business delusion is called "buying your own bullshit".

Are there recordings of her real voice? She could very well be a bad Android prototype.

They just wanted to make money on the way up. It's like biz and crypto. We know almost all of it is useless trash but you can still make money. The ones who supposedly "knew their shit" just got unlucky
Cooper Ramirez
Would be funnier if Stalin = Roger Ver and the dissapearing guy is Satoshi

So moral of the story - don't cosplay Steve Jobs unless you have a Wozniak.
>Holmes acted as a virtual dictator at Theranos in concert with her lover and mentor Ramesh Balwani, who also had no medical device experience (and has been indicted along with her)
Jow Forums you've ruined me! Now all I can think of is
>>"Pajeet Scam medical device"
But this all feed into my 'just beeelieeeeve' theory. The one thing this article doesn't mention is that Jobs was a chronic flip-flopper, that ability to divorce the past and to pivot rapidly is the reason why Apple and Pixar survived. Holmes seems to have either lacked the awareness or the confidence to have realized 'oh shit, this isn't working'. Napoleon said the genius in war was in seizing those rare moments of pivot, you just need to seize one. Holmes didn't.

Idolizing Steve Jobs was her biggest mistake.

She's a psychopath so isn't put off in the slightest by being found out. She'll just go right back to scamming, see

she wears the turtleneck to conceal the adams apple, no joke, anyone who has heard "her" voice knows
