Device display shocks Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz, who says Elizabeth Holmes looks like she’s showing equipment he never used

Shultz disputes the device display
Shultz said the version of Holmes he saw in “You Can See Everything” surprised him. In the film, Holmes displays a Theranos device and its components to director [Fielder].
Shultz said that device was unlike the one he worked with daily. He said it was not the device hidden from regulators, used in failed quality controls, or involved in giving patients incorrect medical information.
He accused Holmes of steering [Fielder] toward a different account of the technology. Theranos’ technology could not deliver what the company claimed, and the business was ultimately exposed as a sham.
Holmes maintains her position
Holmes did not admit wrongdoing after the Theranos scandal and remained firm in the documentary. The film takes viewers inside her San Diego rental property in 2023, weeks before her 11-year prison sentence began.
Her partner, Billy Evans, and their two children were also living there and appear prominently in the film. Holmes had become a symbol of Silicon Valley’s promise before the company’s collapse brought intense scrutiny.
Shultz said Holmes knew she had done wrong. He argued that the web of lies he described would not have been necessary if she had believed her own claims.
Documentary opens strongly
“You Can See Everything” premiered Friday and brought in $15 million during its opening weekend. That was the second-most profitable opening weekend ever for a documentary.
