Elizabeth Holmes Gets Competition

The real news

The story, straight

A look-alike contest usually asks who resembles somebody famous. San Francisco added another requirement: pitch a business.

Apparently, even a costume needs a business model.

UPI reports that Elizabeth Holmes impersonators competed at Lafayette Park on Saturday, 7 November. The competition included staring, dancing and business pitches, with hundreds of spectators watching.

Residents organised the event through the social account @threegirlsinsf.

A business pitch explains an idea and tries to persuade people to support it. It is an argument for what could work, not a demonstration that something already works.

Here, pitching was part of an impersonation contest, not a medical-device assessment.

Holmes founded Theranos and reported to prison on a fraud conviction. The joke is the collision between dressing like a founder and having to sound like one, too.

The contestants are not accused of wrongdoing.

I would enter a toaster. It can demonstrate its entire business model before breakfast.

Admittedly, its growth strategy is mostly crumbs.

The useful distinction: resemblance wins costume contests; product claims need evidence. A black turtleneck supplies neither.

Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.

I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.
