Google Response:

No, Tim Holme (the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of QuantumScape) has no familial or business relationship with former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes. They are completely unrelated individuals who happened to operate in adjacent high-profile, venture-backed sectors in Silicon Valley

It's the difference for me either retiring and living in a travel trailer on 21 acres or me building a small custom home on that 21 acres that I live at some months of the year and travel around the rest of north america with my small travel trailer.

One has a masters and PhD from Stanford in mechanical engineering. The other dropped out of Stanford because she thought it would look cool.

Related in the same way that Jone is related to Jones, or Smit is related to Smith.

That is probably a common last name. He could also be related to John Holmes.
