Reply to comment by spelunk_in_ya_badonk in Elizabeth Holmes 'has ambition to rise again', says creator of Dropout podcast by dfgooner

I’m not so sure. She kind of lucked into this ‘female Steve Jobs’ zeitgeist at a time when it seemed like that’s what the world was looking for.

But the reality is she’s not some genius, just a college drop out who was never that smart in the first place. There was that conference where actual tech people were asking her probing questions and seemed gobsmacked by her non answers.

For some reason it took awhile before the rest of the world caught on. People like their zeitgeists. But now it’s pretty clear she’s just a bimbo trying to fake her way into fame and fortune. She’s not coming back from this.

Don’t be so sure man. This bitch was obviously a fraud and people still gave her money

She had money connections because of her parents. That probably made her seem initially successful. That veneer has worn off by now though.

Wife. She’s a CPA. Runs her own firm that doesn’t bilk people out of money over a technology that defies the laws of physics.
