Have you guys seen Elizabeth Holmes' Twitter favorites?

99% of them are faves for someone saying how inspiring she is. How she breaks glass ceilings. How she's doing something significant. How the press just wants to build people up to then tear people down. How she should run for president. How her speeches were transformative. How she has vision. Her bio. Her story. Videos of her. Press puff pieces about her. Her face. Her.

I've never seen anyone on Twitter use faves in quite this way. It's not faves about anyone else's content or jokes. It's not faves about Theranos, either. It's all. about. her.

That's pretty weird. I didn't believe you until I checked it out myself.

I wonder how much of Theranos is a long-play effort to create a "brand" around Holmes?

Perhaps years later, long after Theranos is dust, she'll point to it as a huge success that made her into the billionaire she became.
