Are we still doing these kinds of lionizing puff pieces after SBF, Holmes, Musk and all the others? By now, I consider being featured in one a negative signal.

  You've got to admit Holmes is an interesting character though.

    I really don't.

      Fair doos. I find con artists and hoaxers fascinating.

    Seriously? She was a fake in every sense of the word, copying everything down to Steve Jobs' mannerisms, photo-ops, and black turtleneck sweater. The only interesting bit is how so many investors were unable to see through the obvious act and also failed to do the due diligence which is the One Job of VC firms (i.e., if I'm an investor, I'm trusting the VC to do real due diligence, otherwise why wouldn't I just invest directly in the companies).

      I find her interesting because she is such a fake. More than Steve Jobs in some ways. I'm always fascinated about how people can be taken in.

        Touché — worth looking more into that aspect!

    Nah I find her typical of the silicon valley variant who chases VC money without any sense of business or product development experience.

  Model Y and Falcon 9 are fakes?
