A Spoiler-Filled Guide to 'You Can See Everything' | Hard Fork

The episode focuses on the documentary You Can See Everything and the breakout role Billy Evans plays in it as Elizabeth Holmes’s partner and business ally. The host, joined by reporting guests, argues that the film is less about Holmes alone than about the strange, revealing ecosystem around her: Evans’s blood-testing startup, his polished evasions, and the way the documentary seems to recast Theranos-era behavior rather than simply revisit it. The guests dispute how real Evans’s company is, whether Holmes is still effectively involved, and whether the documentary’s portrayal is a deliberate performance or an inadvertent expose.

A major thread is whether Evans is a true believer, an opportunist, or both. One guest says the startup has raised money but lacks a real product, while another notes that Silicon Valley and Wall Street are often willing to back controversial founders if there is enough narrative upside. The conversation also lingers on Holmes’s prison-era persona, including social media activity attributed to Evans and the possibility that the film is feeding a broader political and reputational rehabilitation effort.

The episode then turns to other tech headlines, including CoreWeave’s heavy debt load, speculation about a SpaceX-Tesla merger, and Joel Kaplan’s departure from Meta. It closes with John Carreyrou revisiting the core facts of Theranos, arguing that Holmes knew what she was doing, that the fraud hardened by fall 2013, and that the documentary does not erase the company’s real victims.
