Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11 years in prison
US District Judge Edward Davila announcing the sentencing said the case was "troubling on so many levels," and that Holmes' hubris and lies led to the company's downfall.
"This is a fraud case where an exciting venture went forward with great expectations only to be dashed by untruths, misrepresentations, plain hubris and lies," said Judge Davila.
On Friday (November 18), the world's richest man and now the new Twitter chief sent a series of emails to Twitter staff asking for help.
He firstly sent a mail to the software engineers asking them to come to the 10th floor at 2 pm.
After 30 minutes he sent another mail inquiring about the "tech stack," a term for the company's software and associated systems. Musk furtherasked the engineers to submit their records of the last six months along with 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of codes, Reuters reported.
