Elizabeth Holmes Is Reportedly Earning Money From a Monetized X Account While in Prison

Elizabeth Holmes is serving 135 months at a federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, and her verified X account has been selling subscriber-only posts since late 2025. The price is one dollar a month, and according to Page Six, just under ninety people are paying it. The bio puts it plainly:“mostly my words, posted by others.”Page Six also reports that her partner, Billy Evans, helps run the page.

So how is this allowed? Bureau of Prisons policy bars inmates from being employed, but it doesn’t stop them from relaying messages through monitored phone calls, emails, mail, or visits for someone else to publish. Holmes’team appears to be operating squarely inside that gap, which means the account can keep posting without violating the letter of the rules.

The context is what makes it land differently. Holmes was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy in 2022, her sentence was reduced by a year in March 2026, and she still owes more than $450 million in restitution. Her release date is February 2030. That leaves a lot of people asking whether a convicted fraudster should be able to turn notoriety into recurring revenue from behind bars. Should prisoners be allowed to profit from their name through social media proxies, or should that loophole be closed?
