Are you telling me billion dollar investments were made into a highly experimental technology on the word of a teenage startup founder that dropped out of university? No, those investing clearly failed their own independent due diligence or else knew they were on a ‘punt’ (high stakes gamble with large payout). Had Elizabeth been a man, the loss outcome would've been accepted as part of the SV casino breaks, but because she’s a counterfeit (wo-) person, they called shenanigans to save face.
