Why the world is still obsessed with Elizabeth Holmes
Original: Why we’re still so obsessed with Elizabeth Holmes - video https://www. theguardian.com/science/video/ 2026/oct/22/why-we
The Guardian has published a video exploring why public fascination with Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of blood-testing startup Theranos, persists years after her fraud conviction. The piece examines her hold on the public imagination and what her story says about Silicon Valley's culture of hype, startup myth-making and the risks of putting blind faith in charismatic founders, particularly in health technology.
Why now: Continued interest in the Theranos scandal and Holmes's ongoing notoriety keeps the story in circulation.
