Many people compare Steve Jobs with Elon Musk, including Steve Wozniak.
What do you think they have in common?
I've never met Elon so I
don't know him. He was fantastically
lucky in the sense that PayPal was a
rocket ship to success.
And same with that Steve Jobs. He has a
lot of good qualities - he was very
ambitious and he was hardworking but you
can't just make success happen.
Many factors have to line up. So the
success of the Apple 2 was bigger than
Steve Wozniak or Steve Jobs, it was at
the right time in the right place and
they found the right customers.
Steve did have a reputation for being brutal
with people. He also had a lot of enthusiasm
for people that he thought were smart.
He was kind of a love-hate. He would be hot or cold if it's not a good day
you wanted to stay away from him.
