Opinion: Can anyone crack Elizabeth Holmes?
By Molly Roberts Molly Roberts Editorial writer covering technology and society Email Bio Follow Editorial Writer March 21 at 12:25 PM Technically, the voice is a baritone. Some say it’s definitely fake — another part of the same old scam. Others say there’s no way of knowing. But the impossibility of an answer rarely stops the truly curious from trying to find one. And Elizabeth Holmes’s voice has become an obsession.
Was this all one giant “ha-ha” to believers? Was Holmes laughing behind the world’s back as it nodded along — to each dumb explanation of how the technology worked, to each masculine mumble that came from her mouth? This leads to another explanation for Holmes’s lie: Silicon Valley loves a good bluff. You set an almost unthinkably ambitious goal, and then you hope you’ll get lucky enough to achieve it. The interim is all about convincing people to buy into your vision. In “The Inventor,” the HBO documentary on Theranos that aired this week, an engineer recounts telling the company’s leadership that so small a machine could not possibly perform so many tests.
