  • Elizabeth Holmes, the convicted Theranos founder, updated her X bio and posted her first tweet in nearly a decade, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Her X account has been actively replying to longevity entrepreneur Bryan Johnson's tweets and sharing posts about fasting and research on inflammation, raising questions about her access to social media from prison.
  • Holmes is serving an 11-year sentence at a minimum-security prison where incarcerated individuals can purchase tablets without internet access, but she has monitored phone, video calls, and email via CorrLinks, not direct social media access.
  • The tweets are likely real and posted by someone outside on her behalf, as her account has a long history and is linked by her fiancé, similar to other imprisoned individuals maintaining online presence.
  • Her return to X coincides with moves by associates, including her fiancé's new blood diagnostic startup and pro-Holmes billboards claiming her innocence, though she denied involvement in the ads.
