@jeffowski Musk is similar to Steve Jobs. Jobs never invented anything. He was a marketer.
@mickymorse similarity: both treated their employees like shit.
Difference: Jobs cared about his customers.

@fedops @mickymorse — funny because Simon Sinek loves to use Apple and Jobs as his example for good leadership.
As a former Apple employee, you are a number and that’s it, like in every corporation, but the guy at the top steering the ship still matters. Jobs led Apple pretty well. Musk continues to drag down Tesla, SpaceX, and is killing Twitter/X.
Seems a massive contrast versus the comparison you’re trying to make.
@jeffowski I'm not arguing he led Apple badly. As you say musk is a billion dollar liability to anything he touches. Basically like any fascist.
I can't speak with authority but some stories I've heard from people directly working with Jobs universally indicate he was very tough on his direct reports. Interesting to hear your experience is different.
