New ‘Simpsons’ episode skewers Elizabeth Holmes and Silicon Valley culture, including tech investors and employees
The Elizabeth Holmes drama has already spawned a best-selling book, an Emmy-winning miniseries and a documentary. It was time then, for the sitcom treatment. In an episode that aired Sunday night, “The Simpsons” took a star-studded romp through Silicon Valley tropes. The central character of the episode was a startup CEO who mimics the trajectory of the Theranos founder Holmes, wooing billionaire investors before ultimately getting outed as a fraud.
Employees have buzzword-y titles: Persephone is “Founder and Status Quo Demolitionist,” and there's a “Brain Dump Magician,” a “Chief Change Alchemist” and a “Chief Engineer of Inside the Machine.” As the company hires various “Simpsons” characters, each one is forced to sign a thick non-disclosure agreement.
