Elizabeth Holmes, the former Theranos CEO convicted of fraud, uses her verified X account to earn money by charging subscribers $1 per month for access to certain posts. This activity complies with federal prison rules despite concerns about its ethical implications. Since late last year, her account has attracted nearly 90 subscribers, generating revenue that Holmes can theoretically access through monitored communications with others managing the account, such as her partner Billy Evans.
