This week, Brian Barrett and Leah Feiger discuss an exclusive interview with Nathan Fielder, the director of You Can See Everything, a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. The documentary follows Fielder as he spends a month inside Holmes' home in the weeks before she went to prison. Holmes was convicted for defrauding investors with Theranos, her blood testing startup. The film was kept secret for three years, and only a few dozen people were allowed to see it. Katie Drummond, WIRED's global editorial director, spoke with Fielder at length and will be joining us to share what stayed with her after their interview. We also discuss recent pledges from tech billionaires, such as Anthropic's commitment to donate 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund and Elon Musk's promise to give one SpaceX share to every child in America. Additionally, we examine the harassment campaign that has hit election offices across the country, with WIRED finding that election offices in at least 32 states have received suspicious letters, some containing white powder. The episode explores the motivations behind these pledges and the potential impact they could have. We also delve into the behind-the-scenes of the interview, sharing the experiences and insights of those involved.
