Elizabeth Holmes’s Social Media Feed Hits Different After Watching ‘You Can See Everything’

Is this the best film of all time?

If you’ve seen any tweets from Elizabeth Holmes in the past year, you’ve probably been a little taken aback. Nothing about her public persona suggested she would be so brash, replying to people with tweets like “f*ck off.”

But the new documentary You Can See Everything, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, helps explain what’s happening. And it makes so much more sense why Holmes’s X account is tonally abrasive and is signaling that perhaps she’s a supporter of President Donald Trump.

It’s not really a spoiler, but if you really don’t want to know anything about the movie before seeing it, abandon ship now.

The reason is that Holmes’s account is being run by her husband Billy Evans since she went to prison in May 2023. Evans and Holmes met in 2017 and he’s clearly a conniving dipshit. Going into more detail than that would probably spoil the movie and it’s worth watching this film without knowing much. But the guy is a real asshole.

If you see the movie in theaters (and I can’t recommend that highly enough) some of the biggest crowd moments will be gasps and laughter around the actions of Evans. He doesn’t come across as a good person. But everything clicked for me when he mentions in the film that he’s now running her X account.

The Holmes account has tweeted positively about Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, quote-tweeting the president on Sept. 25 with the words “we are winning.” Another attacks Democratic congressman Greg Casar and quotes Ronald Reagan’s line: “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.”

And while it’s entirely possible that Holmes herself shares these beliefs, we really can’t tell. Evans says that some of the tweets are from her emails sent from prison, but viewers get the impression that most of it is actually him.

This recent tweet in particular feels very different after you learn that it’s probably just Evans.

Evans was interviewed for the All-In podcast on Thursday where he said that he hadn’t yet seen the movie but admitted that it could be “the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.”

It could be, Billy. But the film is nonetheless one of the best of the decade, if not the greatest film of all time. I don’t say that lightly. This movie was an experience that I’m not going to forget anytime soon. And it seems like a lot of other people agree with me.

The film currently has a 9.3 rating on IMDb, tied with The Shawshank Redemption, which is the top-rated film on the platform. Is it better than Shawshank? That’s hard to say since on the one hand, they’re very different kinds of movies. But on the other hand, yes, You Can See Everything is roughly 100 times better than Shawshank and you should go to the theater this instant if you haven’t seen it yet.
