Elizabeth Holmes has posted a cryptic message on social media appearing to endorse President Donald Trump as comedian Nathan Fielder’s documentary about the convicted Theranos founder is scheduled to hit theaters next month.

On Friday, Holmes’ X account retweeted a video posted by Trump which highlighted his administration’s achievements and added the caption: “We are winning.”

Holmes’ X account notes in its bio that posts are “mostly my words, posted by others.” It was one of several posts shared in this week as the trailer for “You Can See Everything” was released. In one post, the account shared an AI-generated image of Holmes standing in front of a burning bridge.

“I don’t get angry often,” the post reads. “Tonight, I am. People put my child’s health and safety at risk. They knowingly and consciously chose this path. If protecting my child means burning bridges, I’ll burn them to light the way. Time to sleep. I’ll grab the match tomorrow.”

Another post featured a photo of her holding her baby on a boat with the caption: “Idk, here’s me on an airboat.”

Convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has shared a social media message endorsing President Donald Trump, just weeks before a new A24 documentary detailing her final days before prison hits theaters ( A24 )

Holmes was convicted in January 2022 and sentenced to 11 years in prison after defrauding investors out of millions of dollars over lies about her biotech company’s blood-testing capabilities.

Fielder’s film, which will be released in theaters October 16, follows Holmes and her family as she prepares to go to prison.

Holmes has remained a subject of ongoing cultural fascination after she went from Silicon Valley icon and the youngest self-made female billionaire to convicted felon following the implosion of Theranos.

New reports have also emerged that the 42-year-old is scheduled to move from the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, to a halfway house next summer.

There is no evidence indicating that the Trump administration intervened in her scheduled halfway house transfer. However, Holmes formally submitted a petition for clemency to the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney last December, which remains listed as pending.

Promotional clips show Holmes facing direct questions from filmmaker Nathan Fielder about her fraud conviction. The film is set to be released in theaters October 16 ( A24 )

Promotional footage for the documentary, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, shows Fielder directly questioning Holmes and her partner, hotel heir William Evans, about the fraud allegations and their relationship.

In one clip, Fielder asks Holmes if she believes she did anything wrong, to which she replies, “I did not.”

In another exchange, Fielder asks Evans if he ever worried Holmes was “scamming” him due to his family’s wealth, to which Evans replies: “A hundred percent, but what did she have to gain from me?”

The Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas has housed several other high-profile inmates, including Ghislaine Maxwell, who was transferred there last summer, and “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast member Jen Shah, who completed her six-year wire fraud sentence in August.
