I wouldn't call her a win-at-all-cost entrepreneur. I think she's delusional. From the fake deep voice, VCs she took money from, Theranos' board composition and the pregnancy assertion if it's true. Seems it was a scam from the word go.
- MagnumOpus 4y agoThe deep voice is an indicator not for a tendency to delude herself (=delusional), but for a desire to delude others (=scammer).
- graderjs 4y agoWas her deep voice really fake? She has a pronounced larynx, deep jaw and chin, somewhat androgynous face--isn't it possible she simply has/had high-T?
- sc90 4y agoCarreyrou, the author of Bad Blood had an interesting Anecdote from a former employee. Elizabeth and the new employee were meeting for the first time and at the end while expressing her excitement for them joining Theranos, her tone changed to a more high pitched one. Also there is a clip from a Podcast interview where her voice changes before it then goes back to a deeper tone. Though it's not the actual Podcast. Also her Medicine Professor while at Stanford denies that she has a naturally deep voice.
